Description of Garden

Designer: 'Capability' Brown and Humphry Repton

Set in a landscape designed by 'Capability' Brown and Humphry Repton, the gardens feature a number of historic trees, massive undulating yew hedges and the unique Gothick bath-house. A fine collection of mature magnolias lends the early Spring a special display, as do the extensive array of primroses, bluebells and white narcissi. The oriental plane is said to be the largest in Europe and there are fine examples of Ginkgo, black walnut and sequoia, as well as tree paeonies.

History of Garden

The flower garden dates from the 1830s, with the 4th Lord Methuen adding many more exotic shrubs in the 1950s and 1960s
