PYTHOUSE KITCHEN GARDEN SHOP -
NOW OPEN EVERY DAY FROM 8.30AM - 5.30PM
This is situated in a beautiful 18th Century walled garden about 2 ½ miles west of Tisbury on the road between Newtown and Semley. For a map & detailed directions follow the 'Contact Us' link above. We aim to stock all the items you would expect to find in a good local delicatessen or farm shop. The emphasis is on local produce wherever possible including fruit, vegetables and flowers from Pythouse Kitchen Garden itself. We also stock condiments and delicatessen items from further afield.
Our walled garden is at the heart of the Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We are only about 2 hours drive from London and so our area makes a perfect destination for a weekend away. To help with planning such a weekend our Links page gives contact details for various local tourist agencies and of local self-catering and bed & breakfast accommodation. Attractions within easy reach include Stonehenge, one of the past's most enduring mysteries, Salisbury Cathedral with the tallest mediavel spire in Europe, Stourhead Gardens, an 18th Century landscape garden with numerous follies and walks around a fine lake, Wilton House, A grand Palladian house with a very fine art collection and Longleat House widely regarded as the best example in Britain of high Elizabethan architecture. Lastly just 2 miles away from our garden there is Old Wardour Castle, a romantic ruined 14th Century fortified but also showy and luxurious residence that was partially destroyed during a siege in the 17th Century Civil War between Charles I and his Parliament..
