Peckover House was built in 1722 and is named after the Peckover family, Quaker bankers in Wisbech who owned it until it was given to the National Trust in 1948.

The Victorian walled garden — 2 acres in extent — is considered one of the finest in England: two pool gardens, a fernery, a croquet lawn, double herbaceous borders, 60-plus varieties of rose, a Chusan palm, gingko tree, tulip tree, and orange trees thought to be around 300 years old. National Trust members enter free; non-members pay a garden admission charge. Opening hours are seasonal — check the National Trust website before visiting.
