Wrest Park

Wrest Park

This is one of the most magnificent yet least well-know gardens in England. Unlike 'Capability' Brown’s natural landscape styling, favoured during the late 18th century, Wrest Park’s formal gardens provide a fascinating history of gardening styles, laid out over 150 years and inspired by the great gardens of Versailles in France.

The gardens are overlooked by a stylish French-style 18th century mansion and contain wonderful garden buildings.

Visitors looking for an unusual day out will find Wrest Park a wonderful place to explore in the company of our audio tour.

Don't Miss...

  • Make sure you explore the early 18th century pavilion designed by Thomas Archer - an architectural gem!
  • Stroll around the Orangery, Italian Garden and Parterre with magnificent lead statues that date from the 1830s.
