In 1870, Alfred and Arthur East, the owners of Longstock House, dredged gravel from the banks of the River Test in order to build a private road to the property, creating the lake in the process.

When the Easts sold the Longstock Estate in 1914, Reginald Beddington, the son of the new owner, decided to make an aesthetic feature of the water. In the 1920's, it was channelled into a central canal flanked by two small lakes and the margins were planted with perennial beds.

The gardens as it is now was created by John Spedan Lewis, with the help of a botanist, when he acquired the estate in 1946.  The water-logged soil meant all the work had to be done by hand, and it was ten years before the project was completed.

Open Monday - Saturday (throughout the year) from 8.30am - 4.30pm, and Sunday (April - October) from 11am - 5pm,  and Sunday (November to March) from 11am - 4pm .

Open to the public daily from 10 am until 4:30 pm.  Last admission is at 4:00 pm.

Andover's fascinating past can be explored giving the visitor insights into archaeological finds and old English myths.  The museum of the Iron Age allows you to discover a way of life that was destroyed by the Romans, telling the story of the Iron Age hillfort at Danebury.  The displays give a vivid impression of life in prehistoric times through life-size models.
