Hiking

The Shugborough Estate's walled garden, which dates back to 1805, was originally a kitchen garden for growing fruits and vegetables. Today, it features seasonal produce and flower borders and is surrounded by a Ha-Ha, or sunken fence. The estate is also developing a new "Arcadia" garden in the historic slip gardens around the walled garden, with a focus on creating a resilient ecosystem.
