Description of Garden

Designer:

The garden is known for its woodland plantings established in a disused gravel quarry. A spectacular waterfall cascades between mature rhododendrons, azaleas and choice woodland plants. A south facing hillside garden provides views of surrounding countryside. A scree garden, water features and coloured summer borders are among the many delights.

History of Garden

Colonel Clive himself and his friends, Kenneth Midgley (Landscape designer), Frank Knight (Director of Wisley), and John Codrington set about creating this peaceful garden in memory of Dorothy, the Colonel's wife.
