Weston Park: In Pictures
Over 300 years of garden design
There are 1,000 acres of Capability Brown Parkland to explore and enjoy whether on foot or by bike and our fun filled adventure playground is nestled in Brown’s Pleasure Ground of Temple Wood.
The gardens reflect over 300 years of garden design from the informality of the landscape to the formal lines of the Victorian terraces laid out by Edward Kemp.
Our own Head Gardener has also created new gardens from the Teardrop Garden in the late 20th century to Lady Anne’s Memorial Garden more recently.
