La Seigneurie Gardens
La Seigneurie
The residence and walled gardens of the Seigneur of Sark, where Victorian gardens, a hedge maze and an old battery are the highlights.
La Seigneurie is the residence of Sark's hereditary Seigneur, built in 1675 on the site of a 6th-century monastery. The house itself is not open to the public, but its walled gardens are famous for subtropical plants, a rose garden, a Victorian-style greenhouse and a hedge maze. They are considered among the most beautiful gardens in the Channel Islands. The grounds also contain an old battery and a dovecote. Admission is about £10. The gardens are generally open from April to September, and there is a café nearby. It's a 40-minute walk from Creux Harbour, or you can take a horse-drawn carriage or ride a bicycle.
