Lamport Hall hotels places to stay near to from Great British Gardens

Lamport Hall is set in tranquil gardens, enclosed by a spacious park. Of the gardens laid out in 1655, by Gilbert Clarke, only the surrounding bank and large wrought iron gates still remain. Sir Charles Isham the son of Mary Isham, inherited his mother’s love of gardening. He is responsible for the present day appearance with a small Italian garden and the remarkable rockery. This is the earliest alpine garden in England, rising like a ruin 24 feet tall. Sir Charles peopled it with miniature figures, the world’s first garden gnomes.
