From the stunning Italian Garden and the impressive herbaceous border, to the delightful scented terrace and koi lake, every corner invites discovery. As you explore, you’ll encounter charming temples, intricate statues, grand urns, and mysterious grottos—some with connections to other historic estates, others gifted from across the world—adding a sense of wonder throughout your journey. With sweeping views across the Derbyshire countryside and stories woven into every path, this is more than a garden visit—it’s an experience to savour. Book your guided tour now at the introductory price of £10, including all-day garden entry (small booking fee applies) Please note, this tour includes steps and uneven ground
