Acorn Bank
Acorn Bank Garden and Watermill in Cumbria is a hidden gem tucked into the Eden Valley — a walled garden sheltering one of the largest collections of medicinal and culinary herbs in the north of England, surrounded by orchards and woodland walks beside a tumbling beck. The restored watermill on the estate gives a satisfying sense of how this landscape worked for centuries. It is a place of quiet discovery, where the garden rewards slow exploration.
