Hestercombe Gardens, Cheddon Fitzpaine, Taunton, Somerset

Hestercombe is unique in having three complete period gardens covering 40 acres. The Georgian landscape, Victorian terrace and the formal Edwardian gardens combine to create one of Britain´s premier garden sites widely recognised as being of international importance. The Landscape garden was created in the 1750s. These Georgian pleasure grounds comprise forty acres of lakes, temples and delightful woodland walks. The Edwardian English garden with its formal designs are complimented by the informal planting and original use of colour. The formal Victorian Terrace laid out to the south of Hestercombe House is planted with a variety of bedding in the patterns reminiscent of Victorian parks and gardens.
