Cottesbrooke Hall is a magnificent Queen Anne house dating from 1702. It contains a unique collection of furniture and sporting art and is surrounded by award-winning formal and wild gardens of approximately 13 acres.

Wandering in the renowned gardens, winner of the HHA/Christie's 'Garden of the Year Award' 2000, visitors will see the huge 300 year old cedar of Lebanon, double herbaceous borders, pools and lily ponds. There is a Yew Statue walk with pergolas, a rose garden and, on the south front, a formal parterre frames the vista towards the famous 7th century church and Brixworth. In spring the Wild Garden, planted along the course of a running stream with stepping stones, cascades and arched bridges, comes alive with spring bulbs and, later in the season, the wonderful colours of acers and rhododendrons with bamboos and gunneras can be seen. In mid-summer, visitors may enjoy the splendid array of planters in the individually planted courtyard gardens whilst relaxing on one of the seats, many of which have captivating views over the lake and Park.
