Full Description
{1} Separated from the C19 formal gardens, Italian Garden, Arboretum and ornamental woodland east of Warren Ponds by a ha-ha, the park is all permanent pasture with a high density of mature parkland trees.
Alternative plans for improving the park were drawn up in 1760 1 by Lancelot Brown and Robert Adam, with Brown’s being chosen. Work began in 1761, but was abandoned in 1774. The main works included construction of the ha-ha and the carriage drive and bridge (later remodelled as Terracotta Bridge) between Park Pond and Warren Pond.
