A nineteenth century house, by Samuel Wyatt, with park and garden. The estate layout has changed with many of the currents of taste in garden design. A Beech avenue survives from an early-eighteenth century design, Humphry Repton prepared a Red Book in 1791. Lewis Wyatt designed a flower garden in 1814. Joseph Paxton designed a terrace garden and a fernery in the 1850s. A Japanese Temple and garden was added in 1910. The result is a good example of the Mixed Style. The 120-foot Pinery (1774) was restored and reopened in April 2007 by the Countess of Wessex.

History

Tatton Park Gardens represent over 250 years of garden design history, with each generation of the family adding to them, and moving the park boundary back each time to accommodate their designs. The 50 acres feature the famous Japanese Garden, Italian, Rose and Tower Gardens while the Walled Kitchen Garden produces seasonal fruit and vegetables which are sold on-site and used in our Restaurant menus.
