Ham House garden
Ham House garden is significant as one of the few formal gardens to survive the 18th century English Landscape Movement. 17th century formality predominates in this comprehensively restored garden, once the home of the beautiful and notorious civil war spy, Elizabeth, Countess of Dysart. The garden restoration, which commenced in 1973, continues today with the recent restoration of the kitchen garden. The strongly architectural nature of the wilderness, gravel terraces and parterres of lavender, together with replicas of the 17th century furniture and summerhouses, add to the charm and interest of this all year round riverside garden. The orangery is the oldest in Britain.
