Description:
A peaceful woodland garden in the heart of the historic Ladbroke Estate, the quiet of which is disturbed only by birdsong and the bells of St John's, Notting Hill.
Rolling lawns with mature spreading planes and occasional specimen trees, including a tulip tree, are interspersed with copses of choice woodland planting, such as callicarpa, honeysuckle, brunnera, liriope, hellebores, epimediums and ferns. Dame Sylvia Crowe, the noted landscape architect and garden designer, lived here for many years.
