Mapperton Gardens - Dorset




Mapperton Gardens:Mapperton´s terraced valley gardens surround the delightful Tudor/Jacobean manor house, stable blocks, dovecote and All Saints Church. On the upper levels, a walled croquet lawn, then the orangery, an ornate pavilion overlooking the Italianate formal garden with fountains, topiary, grottoes, ponds and herbaceous borders. Below, a 17th century summer house, hedged fishponds, topiary and borders.
