We are delighted to share the very exciting news that Belmont House and Gardens has won a Gold Award for the South & South East in Bloom 'Heritage Garden' of the year as well as the Chairman's Award 2021.
This is an amazing achievement as it was the first time we had entered the competition and Head Gardener Graeme and his team worked very hard to make sure the Gardens were looking their very best.
The team work extremely hard all year round to keep the gardens and grounds looking good all through the seasons. We know our many visitors enjoy their time with us, the peace and tranquility is often commented on.
Congratulations to our gardening team, we are very proud of this milestone achievement and look forward to entering again next year.

The Gardens
The present layout of the grounds dates from the 1790s, though the planting has been altered over the past two centuries. The gardens consist of a walled garden, pinetum, wooded areas, formal lawns and a large kitchen garden. You can find out more about the history and design of the gardens on our regular Meet the Head Gardener tours.
The House
Belmont is of interest for three main reasons. Architecturally, it is an unspoilt example of Samuel Wyatt's work. One of the most progressive architects of the late 18th Century, the house is a fine testimony to his understated neo-classical style. Historically, the house is important for its well-preserved records of a family who played a leading role in the development of the British Empire in the 18th and 19th Centuries. Successive Lords Harris served as soldiers and colonial governors. The house still contains many mementos of their careers. Lastly, Belmont is distinguished for the collection of clocks created by the 5th Lord Harris. It is reputedly the finest collection in England. Read more about the rooms..
