 Description of Garden
Designer: Edward Schultz and others
Cottesbrooke Hall is a magnificent Queen Anne house reputed to be the model for Jane Austen's 'Mansfield Park' and surrounded by formal and wild gardens.

Wandering in the renowned gardens, winner of the HHA/Christie's 'Garden of the Year Award' 2000, visitors will see huge 300 year old cedars 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, there are formal parterres framing 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.
 History of Garden
A number of distinguished landscape designers have been involved in developing the gardens. These include Edward Schultz earlier this century, Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe before the Second World War and Dame Sylvia Crowe and most recently James Alexander-Sinclair has reworked the herbaceous border. The gardens have, in the main, been developed during the course of the present century. The main inspiration came from the late Hon Lady Macdonald-Buchanan but the present owners have endeavoured to continue these developments.
