Another local National Trust property: a bit of a work in progess; first visited with Chris Morton, on a very blustery, changeable sort of day!
From the Gentleman's Magazine, August 1792: "Never did I see a more beautiful spot; nor any kept in such perfect order. A vast extent of ground, formerly a mere bog, is now adorned with islands, and tufts of trees of every species; and watered round, in the most pleasing, and natural manner, possible."
