Thriving in a sheltered corner of Grange-over-Sands, the lush 4.5-acre coastal gardens at Yewbarrow House are designed around the lie of the land and the elements – growing conditions are closer to Cornwall than Cumbria. Yewbarrow features 10 or so themed gardens with exotic planting; highlights include the Japanese garden, which has at its centre a hot spring pool with an infinity edge overlooking Morecambe Bay. In Japan, its wooden terrace is referred to as a ‘moon-viewing’ platform. Climb the steps of prospect tower to take in views towards Arnside.
