EXPLORE
The Garden
A tucked-away green space of winding paths, mature trees, water, flowers and quiet corners.
A garden to discover slowly.
The Hermitage Wildlife Garden is not a formal municipal garden. Its charm lies in its layers: woodland shade, seasonal planting, wet habitats and paths that invite you to see what is around the next corner.
The garden sits in Gosport, close to Ann's Hill Cemetery, behind Kingston Road. It has been shaped over time by the people who have cared for it and by the wildlife that has made a home here.
What you'll find
Woodland
Mature trees, shade and understorey planting give much of the garden its secluded character.
Water
Pond and wet areas add another habitat and a different rhythm to the garden.
Seasonal colour
Flowers and foliage ensure the garden never looks quite the same twice.
Enjoy the paths, planting and wildlife at your own pace. Please respect the habitats, take litter home and take care on uneven or wet paths.
