The unusual garden surrounding Old Sleningford Hall (not open to the public) has a virtually unspoiled early-19th century layout.
The peaceful garden, with extensive lawns and fine old trees, is full of interest.
There are long herbaceous borders backed by perfectly clipped beech and yew hedges. The walled kitchen garden contains box hedges, masses of vegetables and fruit, and flowers and grasses grown for cutting and drying.
A woodland walk leads to a water garden with a beautiful lake and islands. Here visitors can admire the swans, ducks and koi carp.
Other features of the garden include a watermill and a Victorian fernery
