For all lovers of Nature, Escot is a totally new gardens experience. It is uniquely attractive to garden enthusiasts and families alike. Here are champion trees and elegant shrubs amidst woodland paths, picnic spots and forest playgrounds.

As the historian Polwhele said back in the eighteenth century:

‘‘Perhaps there are no plantations in Devonshire so strong and luxuriant as those at Escot.’’

Against the backdrop of this beautiful corner of East Devon, visitors can solve the world class maze, letterbox around the estate (a kind of nature-based treasure hunt), watch the wildlife (including otters, birds of prey, wild boar and red squirrels), discover the Play Barn and the exciting forest play areas (including Forest Leap, a unique woodland drop slide), marvel at our collection of tropical fish in the Aquatic Centre and enjoy our home cooked local food and delicious cream teas.
