 Description of Garden
Designer:
Polesden Lacey is a large 30-acre garden with lawns, borders and a walled rose garden with over-arching pergolas. Country walks with stunning views of the North Downs are highly recommended.
 History of Garden
Richard Sheridan, the dramatist, owned the property in the early 19th century and extended the Long Walk. Cubitt, the speculative builder, built the house later in that century in the Greek classical manner for an owner who planted 20,000 trees.

The garden was remodelled in 1906 by Mrs. Greville, a well known Edwardian hostess. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (The Queen Mother) spent part of their honeymoon here in 1923. The garden was given to the National Trust in 1944.
