Mansion Pond

A perfect spot in the heart of the gardens to rest and reflect.

A reflective pond surrounded by colourful plants

A haven for wildlife and overflowing with ornamental trees, plants and shrubs, the Mansion Pond is a tranquil spot to sit and take in the natural beauty of Wakehurst.

Come autumn, our Asian Heath Garden is ablaze with fiery colours. Take a picture of this beautiful spot with its reflections in the Mansion Pond for an eye-catching photo. The contrasting textures and shades of the grasses, shrubs and trees will make your picture pop!
