Click on thumbnail images to see a full sized photo

Mapperton gardensThe delightful manor of Mapperton sits atop a long rise, dominating views across a lovely Italianate garden. The house is largely a product of the 1660s, though earlier Tudor elements have survived, and the north front is in the classical style. The church of All Saints forms the south wing of the house.

MappertonThe upper garden is constructed in terraces edged by brick and concrete and dotted throughout with topiary of yew and box. The gardens descend a slope to fish ponds, an arboretum, and a shrub garden.

The house and grounds have featured in several motion pictures, including Tom Jones, Emma, and Restoration.
