Stody Lodge Gardens

Stody Lodge Gardens are part of the Stody Estate in North Norfolk, UK. During May the gardens are opened up to the public on several Sundays. This is a special time for the gardens as it is the prime season to appreciate the Rhododendrons and Azaleas that proliferate in their beautiful gardens. The Lodge is a private home but the gardens are opened to allow the paying public to enjoy the different areas of garden around the lodge as well as a short walk down Rhododendron Drive to the Azalea Water Gardens. Within the gardens are some specimen trees that add to the interest as well as the multi-coloured Rhododendrons and Azaleas.

The Stody Estate was originally part of the Blickling Estate where Ann Boleyn was born, second wife of King Henry VIII. The current lodge and gardens were redeveloped in 1933 and have been continually added to over the years to create a wonderful family home and space to visit when opened.

In this current world of climate change and uncertainty, it will remain to be seen just what survives as the years go by, but for now we get to enjoy the collection of colourful borders in a idilic setting that is Stody Lodge.
