Bawdsey Manor, Bawdsey - East Suffolk
Elaborate gardens laid out between 1885 and 1909 for Sir Cuthbert and Lady Quilter on advice from Alfred Parsons. The site contains numerous garden features built by James Pulham and Son in the 1890s, including an extensive artificial cliff garden complete with seats and alcoves. Gardens, parkland and woodland require strategic management, with conservation of the Pulhamite features a priority in light of active coastal erosion. The landowners have focused resources on operation of the outdoor education centre, slowing down progress with Restoration of garden and landscape features.
