GARDEN

waddesdon garden

Waddesdon has one of the finest Victorian gardens in Britain, famous for its Parterre, seasonal displays, shady walks and views, fountains and statuary.

It was laid out by Baron Ferdinand to provide a change of mood or spectacle at every turn to delight his guests. In his day, a garden tour would include the Aviary, the ornamental Dairy, romantic Pulham grottoes and a menagerie of deer, goats and llamas. Now, the garden is renowned for its innovative planting schemes and restoration of major victorian features such as three-dimensional carpet bedding. It also contains a small but important collection of contemporary sculpture.
