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 8 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 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.
