History and Information Map and Tour of the Gardens What to see and do
What to See and Do
Newstead Abbey gardens are the perfect place for a relaxing stroll along one of the many paths that takes you past attractive lakes, ponds and waterfalls. The gardens have something to offer in all seasons, with spectacular displays of colour from the rhododendrons in late spring, and the Japanese maples in autumn.
Discover the beauty of the formal gardens around Eagle Pond, laid out for the Byrons three centuries ago.Experience the tranquility of the Victorian Fern and Japanese Gardens.
Families can admire the peacocks, swans and geese, explore the maze-like Spanish Garden, and spend some time in the children's adventure playground and picnic area. Be sure to ask for a copy of the Wildlife Safari Quiz which helps you spot the animals.
Couples will appreciate the romance of Monk's Wood, and can enjoy a picnic by the lake.
Admirers of the poet Byron will want to see the monument he built for his dog Boatswain, as well as the ivy-covered stump which is all that remains of the oak tree Byron planted while at Newstead Abbey.
