The gardens were created by the 4th and 6th Earls from approximately 1682 and still retain their 17C lay out whilst continuing to be maintained and planted to this day.
Jack Meath (15th Earl) has been involved in lifelong Land Management. A forester by training he knows the Estate intimately, making decisions for each area of the woodlands based on their bio-diversity and preservation. He continues to plant and care for trees in the tradition of the many foresters who left their legacies which we can enjoy today.
