The
formal garden was laid out in the 17th century and
the terraces and stone staircases were built in 1860.
The woodland and water garden on the hill above the
house was designed and planted in 1936. In 1976 the
formal planting and gravel paths were removed from
the terrace and a new planting scheme was put in place
with the assistance of Lanning Roper.
There
is a small garden especially created for children
where four little statues conceal hidden jets of water.
The
walled kitchen garden is planted with fruit trees,
a large selection of vegetables, herbs, salads,
roses, lavender and sweetpeas.
