Badminton Park

Gardenvisit Editorial

A great park, made by the Duke of Somerset and shown on a drawing by Kip in 1699. It is one of the main examples of the French style in England. William Kent designed a number of buildings with the pattern of radiating avenues, which Canaletto painted in 1748. The design is not unlike that of Cirencester Park, which is nearby. Thomas Wright added additional garden buildings between 1750 and 1770. There is also a private garden, part of which was designed by Russell Page, which is occasionally open for charity.
