Bromesberrow Place (also known as Bromsberrow Place, Hook Farm)

Introduction

The estate at Bromesberrow has extensive 18th-century parkland, some ornamental woodland and a small formal garden.

The north drive is over a mile long and has an alternating avenue. There is also a south drive. Nearer the house there is ornamental woodland with walks and a small formal garden with a fountain. The productive gardens include orchards and glasshouses, which are mostly located within the walled garden. There are four ponds, one of which has a boat house. The grounds are currently undergoing restoration (1997).
