Kelmarsh Hall garden

Kelmarsh Hall is a romantic mid-20th century garden now largely restored. The grass terrace below the garden front of the Hall, with its rows of pleached limes on either side, together with the tapis vert, a wild flower meadow beyond, flanked by avenues of pink chestnuts leading down to the lakes, was designed by Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe in 1936. On the far side of the lake in the middle distance, a 180 yard gap was cut through Shipley Wood in 1933, to create a vista to the distant landscape. Jellicoe returned in 1951 and designed the small Philadelphus garden at the north end of the terrace.
