Witley Court and Gardens
Once one of England’s grandest early Victorian country houses and estates, the romantic ruin of Witley Court is surrounded by one of the few remaining gardens designed by William Nesfield – his self-proclaimed Italianate ‘Monster Work’ response to the earlier landscapes of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown.

Partially restored around the Millenium, the formal Gardens and grand fountain provide visitors a taste of its decadent heyday, with clipped evergreens, Rhododendrons, and a glorious Parterre de broderie inspired by the C16th French style.
Approximately a third of the formal gardens has been restored to date, and the process continues today. In addition to the formal gardens, visitors can enjoy the lake, woodland walks and children’s play area – plenty of space for children and dogs to run around and burn off energy no matter the season.
