Description of Garden:
Twelve acres of stunning gardens (highly acclaimed, especially the vegetable one!). Flower gardens, avenues, borders, island pavilions, canals and a 150-year old wisteria tunnel leading to expanses of sweeping lawns. The organically managed kitchen garden supplies produce to the Orangery Restaurant. A 1,000-yew maze, with a gothic tower at its centre, offers panoramic views and a secret tunnel leads to a waterfall in the sunken garden.
