The Woodland Garden which is not part of the National Trust,
is owned privately by the Carew Pole Garden Trust. (Antony
has been the home of the Carew family for almost 600 years.)
This superb woodland garden contains 300 varieties of
camellias, magnolias, rhododendrons, azaleas plus both
indigenous and exotic trees.
The garden is divided into two areas the Wilderness and
Westdown. The Wilderness is a wooded area which runs from
the house down to the River Lynher.
Humphry Repton's influence is clearly visible here. This
area contains Japanese maples, Camellia japonica and
rhododendron species and hybrids, a conifer dell and giant
redwoods. A series of ponds cascade down to the salt pans
and the Bath Pond House.
The Westdown woodlands contains camellias and
magnolias and were planted mainly following the Second World
War. There is a huge variety of
camellias and the plantings house the
National Plant
Collections for Camellia japonica.
