Edwardian Pergola

Designed by Harold Peto, over 100 metres long, extensively restored following the 1987 storm, the Pergola can be viewed from a wide range of angles. It is host to many varieties of magnolia, clematis, rose and honeysuckle.

The Gazebo at its west end has a floor of knapped flints interspersed with horses' molars. Herbaceous borders are planted with a wide variety of hostas, pelargoniums, ferns, iris, dicentras and spring bulbs. The amphitheatre to the north is used for theatrical open-air performances in the summer period
