    Tips

    October 4, 2021

    On Leith Hill's broad southern slopes, the Rhododendron Wood is a colourful feast for the senses in spring and early summer. The plantings were created around 1900 by Charles Darwen's sister Caroline Wedgwood, who had moved to Leith Hill Place in 1847. Her actions totally transformed this patch of land, driven on by her vision and passion for botany and flowering plants.
