Cholmondeley Castle Garden is said by many to be among the most romantically beautiful gardens they have seen. Even the wild orchids, daisies and buttercups take on an aura of glamour in this beautifully-landscaped setting. Visitors enter by the Deer Park Mere home to many different waterfowl and freshwater fish.

Whatever the season, within the gardens there are always plants and shrubs in flower, from early bulbs through different types of magnolia, camellia, azalea and rhododendron, followed by a golden-canopied laburnum grove, a very fine Davidia Involucrata in the glade, and varieties of cornus.

There is some interesting, restrained planting around the terrace walls below the Castle and on the terrace itself, which was laid out in the year of the Queen's Silver Jubilee. The paved terrace above the lily pond leads to the private loggia and swimming pool.

The gift shop is situated near this terrace, in the Castle basement. There is also The Duckery, a Nature Trail, The Farm, and Farm Shop.
