This site is NOT open to public.

Brief description of site

At Gosford House there is the unusual survival of a late 18th-century layout, including parkland and a pleasure garden incorporating ponds. There are 19th-century formal gardens around the house, of which the enclosing walls and temples survive. Part of the parkland is now used as golf courses.
The house is open during the summer. Permits can be bought to walk around the ponds and part of the John Muir Way passes through the estate.

Brief history of site

Gosford House has been associated with the Earls of Wemyss and March since the late 18th century. There was a designed landscape in the 17th century but the present layout was designed by James Ramsey in about 1790. The park and policies were extended during the 19th century.
