These simply stunning gardens are awash with dazzling colours and are meticulously preened. Dating back to 1572, the grounds still retain many of their original features including the Elizabethan house and stone-flagged terrace. Built by William Newton, Earl of Dorset, the gardens are a haven of peace and tranquillity. Relax with a picnic by one of the superb water features or satisfy your thirst with a visit to the tea kiosk, open throughout the summer months.
