Old Barrack House garden is in essence a secret garden, hidden away behind the Old Barrack House, a grade 1 listed building on Main Street in Hillsborough village. Venturing down the alley between the houses you reach the cobbled yard and barn. Charming collection of pebbled terraces and garden rooms that keep you guessing as you proceed further down the garden. You may have seen this garden on the TV show ‘Greatest Gardens’.
