Sweeping lawns lead between island beds of unusual shrubs and herbaceous plants, down to the lake.

The woodland garden, in a Roman clay pit with fine trees, ponds and bog garden, combines primulas, iris and other moisture lovers with the many wild flowers flourishing there. This area is particularly beautiful early in the season.

The pergola walk features old roses and herbaceous plants.

The terrace and courtyard gardens are colour themed and specialise in later summer flowering plants.

A new addition is the Millennium ‘rill’ garden with a traditional stone summer house and water feature combined with unusual plants.
