Information about this open space

This small country park gives visitors the chance to discover a beautiful formal Edwardian garden, designed by Mrs Gwendolen Gascoigne, that retains many original features. Clipped yew hedges contrast with abundant herbaceous borders and a wildflower lawn, while Japanese-style planting reflects the former owner’s oriental travels.  With woodland walks, a red deer herd, plenty of space to play or picnic and a bird garden, with over 200 species from all over the world, the estate provides a lovely family day out.  The ‘Treasury of Trees’ planting project is into its third year replanting trees and shrubs inspired by the original Edwardian planting plans.
