One of the best aspects of living at Whinfell is having the Whinfell Quarry Garden bordering our estate. This garden was developed within a former quarry as part of the grounds of the original house. Residents see this garden as part of their development. In fact there is a residents only gate providing direct access to the gardens.

Many residents contribute to the Friends of Whinfell Quarry Garden. Since 2001 this group has volunteered to help maintain and improve these gardens. Whilst donations are welcome, it is volunteer workers who make a real difference to the upkeep of the gardens.They have monthly working days. If you are a keen gardener this is the ideal place to put your skills to work. Their Facebook page is the best place to find details of the Friends of the Quarry Garden.
