Rode Hall is a beautiful early eighteenth century country house with a fine collection of porcelain and extensive gardens set in a Repton landscape.
Home to the Wilbraham family since 1669, the extensive grounds boast a woodland garden, formal garden designed by Nesfield in 1860, a stunning two acre walled kitchen garden, which provides produce for the farmers' market and tearooms and a new Italian garden.

A wide range of fruit, vegetables and flowers are still grown here. It is also famous for its gooseberries; the current gardener apparently holds the record for growing the world's largest one!
