The four acres of Thorp Perrow Gardens are adjacent to the 100 acre Arboretum, laid out in the 1800s. The gardens surround the Hall (not open) with formal lawns, herbaceous borders and the remnants of the Italian renaissance style topiary all overlooked by the traditional summerhouse. Historical woodland with a natural spring. The gardens and greenhouses are in the stages of restoration. A new vegetable patch, peach house and a young orchard have been added to grounds.
