It is the gardens of Wrest Park that make it special. Over a period of 150 Years the de Grev family employed only the most talented and up-to-date designers and landscape artists. Take a walk around the vast 90 acres. You will travel from 1700 to 1850, through three distinct gardening styles; the formality of the Great Garden with its half-mile vista down the Long Water from the House to the Pavilion; the mock classical ruin of the Bath House, not to mention other surprises; and then the wide-open, natural spaces that are the hallmark of ‘Capability’ Brown.
