Description
The walls, paths, and steps of the gardens located north-north-east of Castle Drogo were created around 1920 and designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and George Dillstone. They are made of granite stone rubble and coursed blocks of granite ashlar. The formal gardens are arranged on a series of terraces. The lower terrace features the Rose Garden, the middle terrace has shrub borders, and the upper terrace includes a circular croquet lawn. A straight central path runs through the lower two terraces to the croquet lawn, ascending via a series of granite ashlar steps. The flower beds and terraces are supported by low walls. The central pattern of the Rose Garden incorporates an Indian motif with alternating lengths of straight and curved lines. Small arbours are situated in the corners of the Rose Garden, while the overall architectural effect is enhanced by box yew hedges.
