Gardens

From ancient Oaks to vibrant exotic planting, from traditional borders to contemporary prairie style schemes, the gardens at the Park are quite special and are rapidly becoming known by garden lovers.

Indeed, the Heyworth family together with Head Gardener Tim Miles and his gardening team are constantly seeking to improve and develop the gardens.

The Park has become well known for its exotic planting, particularly in the favourable microclimate of the Walled Garden where Bananas and Cannas are a speciality.

Around and within animal exhibits a naturalistic style of planting, which suggests the animal’s habitat, is increasingly being adopted. For example, you will view the endangered Amur Leopards through and within a forest setting, whilst at the other extreme the Meerkats inhabit an arid environment.
