Introduction
Algars Manor has 19th-century planting and a 20th-century woodland garden. This was planted on former woodland / quarrying land after Dutch Elm disease necessitated the removal of the woodland. Features include a formal garden close to the house, with 19th-century planting on the driveway. Along the banks of the River Frome there is an area of informal plantation.
