Long Hill is a historic estate in Beverly managed by The Trustees, combining formal garden rooms with woodland paths and the setting of an old North Shore country house. It is quieter than the coast-facing historic sites nearby, but that is part of its appeal.
The gardens are the main reason to visit, especially in the growing season when the plantings give each area a different character. Allow time for the trails as well; they turn the estate from a house-and-garden stop into a gentle half-day outdoors.
