 Doddington Place is a large landscaped
garden set in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The 10 acre garden was created
by William Nesfield (1793 - 1881).He was a renowned
garden designer who worked on more than 200 gardens and estates in England and
Scotland. His work can still be seen in the gardens at Harewood House, Kensington
Gardens and Castle Howard.
The partnerre at Holkham Hall was his work as were some of
the fine vistas at Kew Gardens. At Doddington Place Nesfield incorporated the
marvellous views from the garden. The woodland garden is spectacular in the spring
when the azaleas, rhododendrons, and bulbs are in bloom.
The mixed borders of the formal terraces are full of colour
in late summer. There is also an Edwardian rock garden, fine trees and lawns,
impressive yew hedges and a new folly. |
