Home to the Sitwell family for nearly 400 years. The famous literary trio, Edith, Osbert, and Sacheverell Sitwell were all patrons of the arts and played a significant part in the artistic and literary world at the beginning of the 20th-century.

Renishaw is still very much a family home which adds to its unique atmosphere. Over 115 years ago Sir George Sitwell created what is today one of the most important classical Italianate gardens in Britain.

Ornamental ponds, a spectacular fountain, secret garden rooms, classical statues, overflowing borders and long vistas all feature strongly in these totally unique gardens.

In the Stable Block you can visit The Café at Renishaw and the Sitwell Museum, featuring an exhibition about The Literary Trio and the history of the gardens.

The changing seasons welcome a variety of blooms, such as the English native bluebells, hybrid magnolias and oriental poppies. Our young visitors particularly favour the woodland area, which hosts a fun-filled play area, silhouettes of familiar cartoon characters and a special jungle surprise.
