Marks Hall, Gardens and Arboretum

Marks Hall Gardens and Arboretum are the estate of the former Marks Hall Mansion which was demolished in 1950. The grounds feature landscaped woodland walks and footpaths, with vistas across the lakes and gardens.

A stroll around the grounds reveals some hidden gems: an 18th Iron Bridge, the site of St. Margaret's Church demolished in 1933, an 18th century walled garden, and the visitor centre is housed in a 15th century barn which has an unusual feature of mullioned 'wind-eyes'.

More information and the opening times may be found on their website
