Doddington Place Gardens

History

The lovely landscaped gardens are set in the grounds of an imposing Victorian mansion. The sunk garden was originally designed by Markham Nesfield in the late 19th-century. The remainder of the garden was laid out just before the 1st World and in the last quarter of the 20th-century. The large Edwardian rock garden has recently been renovated and re-planted. The woodland garden was laid out in the 1960s. Impressive clipped yew.
