Initially discovered in 2018 when the estate was preparing to open to the public for the first time in decades, the Lost Garden has now been beautifully restored in time for visitors to enjoy Spring 2023 and gives an understanding of what the area would have looked like back in 1912, when the estate was owned by Lord and Lady Clanwilliam.
