This beautiful 200 acre park was landscaped in the 19th century. The historic garden was neglected for many years but was rescued 30 years ago by Derbyshire County Council.
Today there is a formal Italian garden with a parterre, wide herbaceous borders, clipped yews and a lake.
The old walled garden, renamed the 'Old English Garden', contains herbaceous borders, a herb garden and a rose garden.
The fine topiary and many evergreen trees make a visit to Elvaston enjoyable in the winter as well as the summer.
