Westbury Court Garden

This was the National Trusts first major garden restoration project and is one of Britain's best examples of a formal Dutch water garden. First established in the time of William and Mary - laid out between 1696 and 1715. In the C18 many similar gardens were destroyed by Capability Browns English Landscape movement but Westbury Court survived.

Whilst autumn creeps slowly round the corner there is still plenty of colour, plants and veg in the gardens.
