This delightful garden started its development in 1996 when the lawns were completed with the first planting of whip trees / shrubbery taking place that Autumn. Varieties of trees planted were Oak, Beech, Birch, Lime and Ash.

Since then many other features have been established including a Follies Garden, an Arboretum, an Italian Garden, a Japanese Garden, an Arizona Garden and much, much more.

The garden is made up of 4.5 acres of lawns, 3.5 acres of shrubbery and trees, 1 kilometre of walkways and a pond with Mallard ducks. Suitable for wheelchairs.
