Fabulous gardens at Brodsworth Hall.

If you are near Doncaster, make time to take a look at Brodsworth Hall. You need to go before the 4th of November though, because it will be closing for the winter. Check the web site for details. This is an English Heritage managed property. 

Brodsworth Hall was built in the 1860s for the Thellusson family, but as the family’s fortune diminished, the house and gardens gradually fell into decline and disrepair. Today, the Victorian pleasure gardens have been expertly restored to their former glory.

They have a large team of gardeners, and a group of volunteers who help to keep it all neat and tidy. The flower beds are soon to be cleared, and prepared for the winter planting of bulbs. 

The lawns are immaculate. Perfect edging, and straight line mowing. 

Walk up the steps for the view from the Summer House. 

The grounds are extensive with a maze of pathways to walk through shrubs and trees. 

Brodsworth village church is not part of the grounds, but it can be seen close up if you look over the hedge. 

I sat and watched the croquet games. Everyone dressed in white. 

This beautiful tree is the first thing you see when you walk up the path from the reception building. Most of the grounds are accessible for wheelchair users. 

This is the front door where you enter the hall. Round the back is the tea room and toilets. There is a shop at the reception building, and a big car park. 

You've seen the pictures now watch the video.

This is the only video I recorded while I was there. I did go into the house, there will be photo's of that in the next post. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona.
