Flora

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the gardens at Lynton Hall were on a par with the Botanic Gardens in Durban and specimen trees and plants were brought here from other special collections. There are over 70 tree species, from the huge indigenous Forest Mahogany (Trichilia dregeana) to the exotic Allspice (Pimenta dioica).

The palms and New Caledonian Pines are of a size seldom seen in other parts of South Africa.

The grounds of Lynton Hall are set amongst 200 hectares of indigenous coastal forest.
