The extensive grounds and garden contain several unusual trees and shrubs including a gingko tree. From the historic garden with its curved ha ha there is a wonderful view towards Lythe Hill and by taking a short walk past the observation beehive through the trees you will discover the Gazebo with views over the pond.
