Welcome to Mottisfont

Mottisfont is a small village located in Hampshire, England. It is known for its beautiful gardens and historic Mottisfont Abbey. The abbey was originally built in the 13th century as a priory for Augustinian canons. It was later converted into a private residence in the 16th century and then into a country house in the 18th century. Today, the abbey is open to the public and is managed by the National Trust.

The gardens at Mottisfont are a popular attraction for visitors. They are known for their stunning displays of roses, which bloom from June to September. The gardens also feature a walled garden, a kitchen garden, and a wildflower meadow. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll through the gardens and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. There is also a café on site where visitors can enjoy a cup of tea or a light lunch.

In addition to the gardens, Mottisfont Abbey also has a rich history. It was once home to the Russell family, who were prominent politicians in the 19th and 20th centuries. The abbey also played a role in World War II, serving as a safe house for the Rothschild family. Today, visitors can explore the abbey and learn about its fascinating history. There are also regular events and exhibitions held at Mottisfont, making it a great destination for a day out.
