    Detailed description

    A beautiful selection of plants and flowersOur Gardens
    This 30-acre estate comprises of several gardens within the one, forming the back-drop to a beautiful selection of plants and flowers, most of which are labelled. Wandering through the original part of the garden large trunks and branches shrubs give a feel of maturity and discovery as you happen across various object d’art.

    In stark contrast you eventually break through to open park land, lake and mature oaks reminiscent of Capability Brown’s English landscape style. Then behind you lies the Japanese garden complete with authentic tea pavilion. The Gardens are home to several Champion Trees. A Champion Tree has to have been officially measured by the Tree Register and is declared a champion for either being the tallest of their type or for having the largest diameter.
