The Edwardian Gardens, landscaped at the turn of
the century by Thomas Mawson, are rich in Lakeland wildlife including
squirrels, badgers, rabbit, fox and deer.
The grounds lead down to the shore of Lake Windermere
where we have half a mile of lake frontage on which stand two boat-houses
with sheltered jetties.
Scattered across the shore, both above and below
the water-line, are the curious "Inscribed Rocks of Windermere"
(illustrated here) and on which the recluse John Longmire carved the
names of his heroes and enthusiasms in the native stone.
Cragwood House is built from stone quarried in its
own grounds. These quarries, which are now a feature of the water gardens,
also provided the stone for the famous round house on Belle Isle and
many of the houses on the opposite shore of the lake.
Our Head Gardener Patrick Nixon tends to our ever changing and beautiful gardens.
