Description
The walls of the walled gardens at Endsleigh are the remnants of the kitchen gardens for Endsleigh Cottage, now known as Endsleigh House, which is currently used as a garden nursery. These walls were built in the early 19th century for the 6th Duke of Bedford and are part of a remarkable site featuring Picturesque buildings and a planned landscape designed by Humphry Repton. The walls are constructed of Flemish bond brick and enclose two large adjoining rectangular gardens. They feature segmental shaped brick capping, and some doorways in the walls are still intact. Humphry Repton's recommendations for the kitchen garden's location at Endsleigh and a list of suggested fruit trees to be planted are preserved in the Bedford Estate Papers at the Devon Record Office.
