Escot
Gardens - Laid out in the 18th century as 220 acres of ‘Capability
Brown’ parkland and gardens, generations of the Kennaway family have
since travelled the world bringing back a wide range of shrubs and
magnificent champion trees. Contemporary design elements have been
added by Ivan Hicks, the well-known TV gardener-artist. Woodland
paths and trails lead to the remarkable new 4,000-beech-hedge maze; to the
birds of prey with their summertime displays; through the beginnings of an
International Tree Foundation wood, carpeted with beautiful flowers in
Spring; through the wild boar and otter enclosures; to an award-winning
aquatic centre and a dedicated wetlands conservation area. |
