One of the most important 18th century landscape parks in Europe. Created between 1738 and 1773 by the Hon. Charles Hamilton when he took barren heathland and transformed it into a sequence of subtle, surprising vistas inspired by his appreciation of the great Renaissance - The Hamilton Landscapes.

Stroll from scene to scene - from evergreen Amphitheatre to Gothic Temple, from wild wood to colourful flower beds, from the Temple of Bacchus to his own sculpted vineyard.

Here the buildings and waters, trees and shrubberies are more than a gardener's delight. They form a work of art, a jewel of English culture in all its quiet charm, here to uplift and inspire.
