Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens, Chester Road, Castle Bromwich, Birmingham B36 9BT

Formal Gardens adjoining the Hall (now a private hotel). 18th Century Formal Gardens (Grade 2*) and Local Nature Reserve Parkland (GradeII*) 10 acres of a unique survival of 350 year old early 18th century formal garden design (Winde +). Includes two garden 'pavilions (1723): the Orangery and Music Room, extensive walls and other restored structures. The walled garden, once part of the Earl of Bradford’s estate, rescued, nurtured and owned by an independent Charitable Trust. A further 30 acres of the former estate’s historic Parkland, now a Local Nature Reserve, encircles the formal garden. Keeping largely to a period-relevant style with plant species and heritage fruit from 1680-1760 it’s like visiting the Baroque countryside in the middle of a 21st century city.
