A large garden, maintained with a special concern for birds and other wildlife. It has terraces, with a stone pool and fountains, and a walled garden with stone seats and a canal.

Head Gardener's Comment

Just two gardeners provide the necessary love and care for the gardens at The Lodge today.It is the policy of the RSPB to maintain these gardens in a manner befitting their character and historical importance. All management methods are organically based and in accordance with the Society's conservation policies, no peat is used.

History

The formal gardens surrounding The Lodge today are largely the product of Sir 'Percy' Malcolm Stewart's period of ownership which began in 1934. They follow a simple Italiante style with features such as a swimming pool, rose garden, water garden and pergolas. The original Victorian-style garden, created in the 1870s for Arthur Wellesley Peel, consisted mainly of trees and lawns.
