Brief description of site

The gardens and parkland at Hardwicke Court retain elements of a 17th-century layout, including ornamental canals. Other features include ornamental gardens and a walled garden with glasshouses.

Brief history of site

There was a manor house and deer park on the site as early as the 12th century. Formal gardens were laid out during the 17th century. Thomas Lloyd-Baker bought the estate in the early-19th century, rebuilt the house and informalised some of the canals.
