About the Larmer Tree Gardens
The Cranborne Chase
woodfair is taking place at the Larmer Tree Gardens, which is on the Rushmore
Estate.
Created by General Pitt Rivers in 1880 as pleasure grounds for "public enlightenment and entertainment" the Larmer Tree Gardens are an extraordinary example of Victorian extravagance and vision. The garden contains a wonderful collection of ornate buildings, majestic trees and intimate arbours, retained in an enchanted timeless atmosphere.
Woodland Heritage
The woodlands contain one of the largest blocks of semi-natural broad-leaved
woodland in southern England. For centuries these were the focus of the
hazel underwood trades. The last ten years has seen a major restoration
programme and the woods are now recognised as a wildlife site of national
importance.
