A rare 18th-century Arcadian garden that's part farm, part fairytale. Children can meet rare-breed farm animals, roam a grass maze and explore follies dotted through the parkland, from the castellated Shell Tower to the Gothic temple out on the lake. Opening is limited to selected days in summer with short hours, so always check the current dates before you set off. Near Kilcock.
