Docton Mill Gardens & Tea Rooms

Gold Medal Award Winning Flower Gardens

Docton Mill gardens and tea rooms are situated in a stunning valley location about 1500M from the coast and Spekes Mill Mouth waterfall. The gardens set in 9 acres of woodland in a steep sided valley, surrounds the existing mill pond and leat which receives its water from the river which meanders through the garden. The garden has interest throughout the season with  the magnolias  and vast swathes of narcissi in early spring, bluebells and rhododendrons in April  and the amazing herbaceous border in mid June.

The tea-room, situated on the terrace adjacent to the mill house, serves light lunches all day, last orders 4.30pm. We are known for our delicious cream teas and also serve a selection of homemade cakes, filled rolls, crab, beef, cheese, turkey and tuna and a selection of desserts. All products locally sourced as far as possible. Please telephone for special dietary requirements.

Opening times 11am to 5pm April 1st to October 5th Entry charge £6.50 children under 18 free. Closed on Sundays.
