Corsham Court Gardens, Corsham

The formal sections of these gardens, hidden away behind the house, are probably the best-kept secret of Corsham Court. They're well worth finding though, particularly for fans of Capability Brown and Humphrey Repton, both of whom worked on the designs. The gardens feature herbaceous borders, a rose garden, a lily pool, secluded gardens, sweeping lawns with splendid specimen trees - and the famous Corsham peacocks, strutting and screaming!
