Brief description of site

Glenfall House has a stream garden through a glen with waterfalls. It is partly accessible under Defra's Farm Conservation Scheme until September 2014. The garden has been supplemented by terraces designed by Norman Jewson.

Brief history of site

Between 1819 and 1826, Edward Iggulden began the first modest landscaping adjacent to the house. Paths were constructed paths and small bridges across the Ham Brook to create a romantic walk along the glen both above and below a large waterfall.

In the 1920s Arthur Mitchell employed Sidney Barnsley and Norman Jewson to design terraces retained by stone walls, steps, arbours, water features and decorative ironwork in the gardens.
