Garden: 16th-century gardens were largely transformed in Victorian, and again in Edwardian, times, and since the 1980s have again been treated to a programme of restoration and development. You will find quite a range of garden features, from the traditional to the not-so: a sunken lawn with pollarded limes, formal walled gardens, Victorian statuary, sprawling shrub roses, a maze, a gold garden, woodland walks, a pet cemetery, and a dino trail.
