About Gilbert White's House
Discover the beautifully restored house and gardens of natural history pioneer Gilbert White. Regarded as the 'Father of Ecology', White's book The Natural History of Selborne is the fourth most published book in the English language.
The extensive 18th century gardens (25 acres) have also been restored to their former glory for visitors to explore, featuring a cottage, herb and kitchen garden, as well as sweeping lawns and a wildflower meadow.
