About Lasborough Park
Lasborough Park built to designs by James Wyatt around 1800 is a very picturesque, castellated house overlooking a beautiful, steep-sided limestone valley.
The extent of the garden has remained more of less unchanged since the 1840’s but had been replanned by the present owners over the last 10 years. The piece de resistance is the walled garden, planned around a large glasshouse which has been built on the site of a previous structure shown on mid-19th century plans. The planting throughout the garden reflects the fruits of a long collaboration between the late Julia Rausing and Tom Stuart-Smith. Mrs Rausing loved old fashioned flowers, especially roses and the garden brims over with them in mid-summer. There is also a long border dominated by groups of Cornus kousa and a castellated Garden Folly with seating on a slope above the walled garden from where there is an impressive panoramic view over the garden and landscape.
