In the Edwardian garden
In the Edwardian garden
Designed and laid out by T.H. Mawson - a leading landscape artist of his day - the Edwardian garden is a true gem.
From the formal garden through the orchard to the pools and the kitchen garden, there's plenty to see.
In summer, don't forget to enjoy the sun on the south terrace or under the rose arbour.
