Samarès Manor
A historic manor in the southeast of the island, known for its herb garden and Japanese garden, with guided house tours available.
Samarès Manor lies in the parish of St Clement. The history of the lord's residence dates back to the 12th century, although most of the surviving buildings were remodelled later. The gardens, created with funds from a wealthy merchant in the early 20th century, are the highlight. They include an English landscape garden, a Japanese water garden and one of the largest herb gardens in the Channel Islands, which is in full bloom in summer. Visitors must join a guided tour to see the interior of the manor, and there is a tea room on the grounds. The site is open from around late March to October, and tickets are required.
