Four lakes form the heart of the garden and at the end of the line of sight the Gothic castle rises on a hill. While you can explore all the paths in the garden and the adjacent parkland, the house is privately owned and cannot be visited.

The design of the park and the expansion of the house were initiated by John Holroyd at the end of the 19th century. He and his wife spent a fortune to design the property according to their ideas. The park and garden were further designed according to the original plans by subsequent owners. Finally, the National Trust acquired the site and now looks after it.

This free landscaped garden was created by the famous landscape architect "Capability" Brown back in the 18th century and further perfected by owner Arthur G Soames in the twentieth century. From spring to early summer you can experience a magical spring show of daffodils, blue-flowered blooms, flowering rhododendrons and azaleas. The center of the garden and park are four larger lakes, in which trees, shrubs, waterfalls and sky reflect picturesque.

A very beautiful park with many old trees and beautiful plantings. The lakes form the center of the park. Old redwoods and sequoias are found here.
