Marquee Garden
Following the construction of the Grand Marquee,
this garden (also designed and created by Alistair
Baldwin and Wynyard Hall’s gardeners), provides
panoramic views and open spaces to wander or
relax. It contains stunning blossom trees, circular
Copper Beach hedges and an array of perennial
borders.
The Wild Garden
Open from late summer 2017, the Wild Garden
will feature an alluring selection of more hardy,
winter flowering plants. In its former glory, the Wild
Garden encompassed shrubs, plants and bulbs
that were carefully placed to colonise naturally.
The original design is believed to have been
influenced by William Robinson, who advocated a
move away from formal beds of Italianate
Gardens towards natural, native species in a
relaxed setting.

Hambletonian
The Ratisbon Gates
Next to the Edible Garden, stands a wire sculpture of
Hambletonian, Sir Henry Vane Tempest’s famous horse,
who is said to be one of the greatest racehorses of the
18th century. Crafted by local artist Emma Stothard, the
installation was commissioned by Allison to mark the
opening of The Glasshouse and Edible Garden in 2016.
These simple yet exquisitely elegant wrought iron gates were brought to Wynyard by
Lady Frances Anne, from the cathedral of Ratisbon in Bavaria.
The Bell Tower
Look up, and you’ll see a bell hanging high on the wall surrounding the Walled Garden.
Historically, the Head Gardener rang the bell to mark the start and end of the working
day or to announce the arrival of Lord and Lady Londonderry.
