Welcome to
Priory Maze and Gardens

Priory Maze and Gardens, has one of the most enchanting gardens in Norfolk, where you can experience peaceful relaxation in natural gardens of woodland, water and meadow.

Our gardens are establishing a growing reputation as a must visit Norfolk attraction. The gardens are a haven of natural beauty providing a home for numerous birds, insects and mammals. Sit and watch the different aspects of the garden from our numerous benches, and take in the backdrop of Beeston Bump cliffs, or watch dragonflies flitting over the ponds and streams. The quintessential sound of water is provided by the babbling of gentle waterfalls through our meadow stream garden, which along with the dramatic ruins of Beeston Priory, creates yet another atmosphere.

Norfolk's only traditional hedge maze gives you the chance to lose yourself for a while.

The unique microclimate in this part of Norfolk enables us to grow an unusual collection of rare and exotic plants throughout the gardens, many of which are offered for sale in our plant centre, at very reasonable prices, along with any advice that you may need.

The plant centre and tearooms are open to non-garden visitors at any time during opening hours.

From April 2008 we will be stocking a complete garden furniture range, at amazing prices.Click here for more details.
