Swiss Garden |

|
A visit to the Swiss Garden takes you back to the early 19th century, when an interest in ornamental gardening and picturesque architecture were first combined. The Swiss Garden is a unique and beautiful example from one of the great periods of English gardening. Within just 10 acres you can wander among splendid shrubs and rare trees, at the centre of which is the tiny romantic Swiss Cottage. There are many other exotic structures. Hidden nearby is a breathtaking Fernery and Grotto, full of dazzling light and mysterious darkness.
