One vision
One vision
Lord Fairhaven had a vision - to create a modern version of the grand 18th-century landscape gardens.
The gardens were created between 1930 and his death in 1966, when the grounds were given to the National Trust.
Designed as one garden to be enjoyed all year round, there's something to see in every season.

Lord Fairhaven's collection of garden statues has now been uncovered. Work will soon begin to clean and conserve the statues so that they are in tip top condition ready for the summer season.
Temple Lawn
The Yew hedge in Temple Lawn has undergone a drastic cut back.
This pruning is necessary to keep the hedge healthy and looking good, and to maintain the gap between the hedge and the columns.
New growth will appear soon!
Garden events
We have lots of garden events planned for this summer.
Allow our garden team to show you around the gardens and pick up tops tips along the way.
