Castle Bromwich Hall Garden, Birmingham, England

re-created and the Kitchen and Fruit garden have been made in the manner of Batty Langley's 1727 book.

These 10 acre walled gardens (listed grade II*); a rare example of formal English garden design are being restored as near as possible to the period 1680 - 1740. The house built in 1599 by Sir Edward Devereux and extended by Sir John Bridgeman I about 100 years later is NOT open to the public but guided tours do look at the gardens around house. The Gardens were developed by several generations of the Bridgeman Family (later to become the Earls of Bradford) reaching peaks of excellence around 1740 and 1900. The Gardens fell into decline during the second half of the twentieth century until they were rescued by the Trust in 1985.

The Holly Maze is a distorted mirror image of the one at Hampton Court Palace designed by George London and Henry Wise.

The following facilities are normally available:-

Gift Shop & Coffee Shop serving drinks and light refreshments
Guided Tours (included in admission price)
Ample free car parking
Dogs in the garden if under control on a short lead. There is plenty of room to exercise your dog in the Parkland adjacent to the Car Park.
