Minterne House was originally built in the 18th century, and the estate has been in the Digby family for several generations. The real highlight of Minterne is its exceptional gardens. Often referred to as one of England's finest and most romantic gardens, Minterne Gardens cover approximately 20 acres and feature a diverse range of landscapes, plantings, and water features.
