Wrest Park
Visit duration: 2 hours
Wrest Park's formal gardens are celebrated because it is rare for a formal early 18th-Century garden to survive. The layout of wooded walks and canals, centred on the architectural highlight of the pavilion was designed by Thomas Archer in 1709-11.
Later, garden buildings such as the Bath house and the Chinese Pavilion, were added. The Orangery, Italian Garden and Parterre with magnificent lead statues date from the 1830s.
Public access to the house at Wrest park in Bedfordshire is limited at present. Dogs are allowed on leads.
