Knightshayes' Kitchen Garden..

.. must be one of the finest in the country both by size and by the variety of vegetables and fruits which are grown.
The one-hectare (2.5-acre) walled kitchen garden, complete with fairy-tale turrets, is home to a vast collection of crops. These are now almost extinct, including 102 varieties of heritage tomatoes.

Unusually for a restored garden, all the produce grown at Knightshayes is harvested and used. Despite its ornamental presentation, it’s a working kitchen garden.

The fruit and vegetables that are grown supply the local Pannier Market in Tiverton for around seven months of the year, as well as local food charities.

And of course a mass of flowers!
