 Walled Garden Wins Prestigious Green Flag AwardThe Walled Garden in Thames Street has won the prestigious Green Flag Award for the fourth successive year. The Green Flag Award scheme recognises and rewards the best green spaces in the country and this year the Walled Garden is one of a record number of spaces to receive the Award.

The historic Walled Garden in Sunbury Park was built in the early part of the 18th Century. Following years of neglect, Spelthorne Council embarked on a restoration project of the two acre garden in 1985.

Expert use of trees, shrubs and climbers on the ancient walls, which are 8 to 10 feet high in places, make the garden a lovely place to visit. The gardens provide great inspiration for gardeners and the Lendy Memorial makes a very impressive centre piece.

The Walled Garden is open seven days a week, from 7.30am-8.30pm in the summer months and, apart from Mondays, refreshments may be purchased at the much celebrated Millenium Embroidery Gallery situated within the garden.
