About this project:
One of the few great 18th century 'green gardens' to survive in its original form, the gardens, begun in 1716, comprise geometric pools, lawns and temples set in a wooded valley culminating in a view of the romantic ruins of Fountains Abbey. The estate includes a 400 acre deer park.
