It was created by Reverend John Moore in the mid-1860s, planting woodland and using interesting stone ornamentation to sculpt this informal landscape. His nephew, Hugh Armytage Moore, continued his work from 1903, mingling exotic species with native plants – giving the garden a dramatic atmosphere. All types of plant groups are represented. Trees, shrubs, herbaceous perennials and bulbs abound through the 21 hectares (52 acres), which includes a walled garden, rock garden, woodland and wildflower meadows.
