Over the centuries, the estate’s gardens have been shaped by some of Britain’s most renowned architects and landscape designers, including William Kent, Charles Bridgeman, and “Capability” Brown. Today, the gardens reflect the exquisite designs of Russell Page and François Goffinet, offering a blend of formality and lush seasonal beauty.
