Wimpole Hall Garden
2.0/5 (1 ratings)
Gardenvisit Editorial
Like Stowe, Wimpole Hall evolved from a geometrical design into a landscape park. The old design is thought to have been the work of London and Wise. It was illustrated by Kip and Knyff and then developed by Charles Bridgeman. Capability Brown transformed it into a serpentine park with an tree belt and three lakes. Repton made proposals which were not implemented. The National Trust has re-instated the parterres.

The formal garden is no great shakes, it almost strikes as an afterthought. The park though is lovely and important for insects.
