A visit to The Swiss Garden takes you back to the early 19th century, when an interest in ornamental gardening and picturesque architecture first came together. Created in the 1820s by Lord Ongley, it is a late Regency garden and an outstanding example of the Swiss picturesque. A unique, ornamental early 19th century example of an English garden affording a splendid mix of shrubs, mature trees, intertwining islands, ponds, tiny bridges and buildings.
