Introduction
The bones of a formal terraced garden at Wonastow may date from the 16th or 17th century, although it owes its current form to the late-19th century onwards. Remnants of a wider formal planting survive, also possibly of the 16th or 17th century. The small park dates from at least the 17th century and has a later lime avenue.
