Woburn Abbey Garden

The deer park is large. Always one of England's great English parks, Woburn is becoming a great garden through a 20-year programme to restore the garden Humphry Repton designed and represented in his 1805 Red Book. Woburn was the most fully realised of Repton's projects. A large Red Book was presented to the 6th Duke of Bedford in 1802. Repton proposed a lake, a serpentine river, an American Garden, extensive planting, a bridge, and a Thornery. Woburn Abbey has a hornbeam maze, herbaceous borders, ponds, a woodland garden and a Chinese dairy overlooking a pool. The curved greenhouse is used as a camellia house. See blog post on the restoration of the Repton-designed garden.
