One of the great eighteenth century landscape gardens, representing the Augustan phase of the serpentine style. It was owned and designed Charles Hamilton (between 1738 and 1773), set in a wooded valley. There is a lake, a Gothic temple, a Chinese bridge, a ruined abbey, a Turkish tent and a remarkable grotto. The garden fell into decay but is being restored with great skill and vigour. The island grotto is a masterpiece.

A masterpiece of landscape gardening, the views are breath taking. You absolutely must love to walk to get the best from the site and a little knowledge of the views and their creation will enhance the enjoyment. If the Grotto is open go see it as its amazing.
