About Gardens of Easton Lodge

The Gardens of Easton Lodge are an idyllic (English Heritage, Grade II) listed haven which has been partially restored to its former glory by a team of dedicated volunteers and the owners of Warwick House.

These historic gardens date back over 400 years. Their most renowned owner was the Countess of Warwick, mistress of Edward VII who in 1902 commissioned leading designer Harold Peto to create stunning formal gardens. Abandoned in 1950 after the demolition of the house the gardens were forgotten for nearly 45 years. In 1993 an ambitious restoration programme was started and it still carries on. Today the 23 acres of gardens have a magical atmosphere, as the splendour of a century ago is gently revealed, allowing the visitor to imagine their past glories and enjoy their tranquil present.
