The
formal garden at Renishaw Hall was laid out in 1895 by Sir George Sitwell
(1860-1943) in the classical Italianate style.
Sir Reresby and
Lady Sitwell's remarkable restoration of the garden at Renishaw Hall has enhanced the
geometric design, retaining yew hedges, pyramids and antique statues,
whilst adding ebullient (and ever widening) mixed borders, rose gardens and a host of exotic plants, many rarely hardy in this
part of the country. On either side of the formal gardens are more
naturalistic plantings with specimen trees, unusual shrubs and towering
rambling roses. Lovely pink camellia walk in Spring.
