Homeyards is on a sloping hillside above Shaldon with fantastic views of Teignmouth and the coastline beyond.
The gardens, created in the late 1920s and early 1930s, feature a castle ruin; pond and rill garden; and Italian Garden. A level walk along the informal terraced arboretum provides the amazing views.
There is roadside parking and pedestrian entrances on all sides of the gardens.
It is a steeply sloping site with four of the five pedestrian entrances incorporating steep steps. The pergola entrance at the eastern end of the gardens is the most accessible. There are two long, surfaced paths running the length of the gardens. The gardens are open all year round.
There’s a lot of refurbishment happening at Homeyards and an active Friends Group involved in maintenance and planting.
