Levens Hall Kendal hotels places to stay near to from Great British Gardens

The Topiary Gardens at Levens Hall are world-famous in their own right, and are a must for any visitor to the English Lake District. The gardener Monsieur Guillaume Beaumont, who had been trained under Le Nôtre at Versailles and who had laid out the gardens at Hampton Court started work in 1694 creating the design for the garden you can see today. Under the magnificent topiary, depending on the time of your visit, you will find colourful Spring or Summer bedding. There is also a rose garden, a nuttery, fine herbaceous borders, and a fountain garden laid out with pleached limes to celebrate 300 years of the Gardens at Levens Hall.
