Explore the extensive garden and woodland in a peaceful rural setting around a traditional farmhouse. This secret valley contains native and specimen trees, including many Magnolia, Camellia and Azelea. The meandering paths lead down the valley through Japanese Maple to Dawn Redwoods, Swamp Cyprus and ponds fringed with Gunnera and Arum lilies. The main garden is full of expertly chosen plants providing a stunning display of colour and scent throughout the seasons.  The grounds include a Mediterranean area with a productive Potager growing vegetables and herbs surrounding a beautiful glasshouse.   Enjoy the dramatic show of tulips on the house terrace with a clotted cream tea.

Open by kind permission of Mr and Mrs Marcus Binney.

Directions, Parking and Accessibility

From Victoria Avenue, at La Motte Ford, turn north up La Rue du Galet, then across the junction and up Mont Felard. Continue up La Grande Route de St Laurent and just before St Lawrence Parish Church there will be signs to turn right into La Rue de Bas. Turn immediately into the entrance to Domaine des Vaux which is directly in front of you.

From St John’s Church take La Rue de la Mare Ballam which becomes La Grande Route de St Laurent by St John’s Manor on south through Carrefour Selous past St Lawrence Parish Church, where you will shortly see signposts for the entrance on your left by Stephen Cohu.

Parking is on grass in the top part of the garden. For the disabled drop off point, please continue down the tarmac driveway to the house.

The Arena garden and the courtyard where cream teas are served are accessed up a couple of steps from the driveway so not easy for wheelchair users. There is an unmade track down the valley to the woodland areas which is suitable for children’s buggies.

We look forward to seeing you there!
