 Description of Garden
Designer: Humphry Repton & 'Capability' Brown
A magnificent landscaped garden, laid out in the 18th century by 'Capability' Brown and further developed in the early years of the 20th century by its owner, Arthur. G. Soames. The centrepiece is the original four lakes reflecting the exquisite planting of trees and shrubs, linked by cascades and waterfalls. There are dramatic shows of daffodils and bluebells in Spring and the rhododendrons, azaleas and Stream Garden are spectacular in early Summer. Autumn brings stunning colours from the many rare trees and shrubs. This ensures that Sheffield Park Garden is recognised as the premier garden for this time of year; winter walks in this garden add another dimension. Truly a garden for all seasons.
