    This is a lovely place to visit.Having walked up to the main house and found yourself looking across the back lawns a stunning anglo- Italianate box edged walk leads you down to a sublime view of an enormous lake,the view tightly constrained by the narrowness of the avenue and height of trees. Rooms occur within the Avenue/walk with colonnades of Juniper and sleepy water features and waterway tempting you down to the lake. From there the view ..the new walks..you are in an enchanted land ! Go visit ! One might suggest it is an amalgam of Humphrey Repton with Renaissance Italy..maybe !
