Aqualate Hall, Newport, England

The boundary of the 17th century deer park is still evident in places.  Some ancient oaks remain in the park although much of the planting dates from the early-19th century.  There is no above ground evidence of the formal gardens.  The area of the former carriage circle is now lawned over and the former 'Serpentine Walk' is overgrown.  The kitchen garden has evidence of a heated wall and retains its associated buildings and gardener's house.  The garden is in full cultivation including slip gardens.

Aqualate Mere to the north of the Hall is one mile long and is a Site Of Special Scientific Interest.  'Decoy' wood, located to the east end of the mere suggests that there may have been a duck decoy on the mere in the past.
