Save this place
The garden at Melbourne Hall is one of the best-preserved early-eighteenth-century formal gardens in England, laid out from 1704 for Thomas Coke by the royal gardeners George London and Henry Wise in the French manner. Its set pieces are a long tunnel of clipped yew, lead statuary by Jan van Nost, and the wrought-iron arbour known as the Birdcage, made by the Derby ironsmith Robert Bakewell between 1706 and 1711. The garden sits in the village of Melbourne and opens seasonally; the hall itself opens for limited periods.
