Grade I-listed Waddesdon Manor is one of the National Trust's most visited properties, such is its splendour.

Designed with the Neo-Renaissance stylings of a French château, it was built between 1874 and 1889 for Baron de Ferdinand Rothschild.

The lavish grounds contain fountains, sculptures, beautiful blooms and even an aviary. A network of public rights of way cross the estate.

A parterre is a part of a formal garden constructed on a level substrate, consisting of symmetrical patterns, made up by plant beds, low hedges or coloured gravels, which are separated and connected by paths. Typically it was the part of the garden nearest the house, perhaps after a terrace.[1] The view of it from inside the house, especially from the upper floors, was a major consideration in its design. The word "parterre" was and is used both for the whole part of the garden containing parterres and for each individual section between the "alleys".
