Panshanger, Hertingfordbury / Hertford - East Hertfordshire
C18-early C19 landscape park laid out by Humphry Repton for early C19 country house (demolished mid C20), utilising the Mimram valley and earlier C18 landscape by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown at Cole Green. Phased mineral extraction since the 1990s has impacted landscape character, key views and the condition of landscape features including gardens, water bodies and woodland. A Parkland Management Plan identifies priorities for restoration and is informing sympathetic development and stewardship of the site as a country park and nature reserve. Most of the site is now open to the public.
