Claremont Landscape Garden, Esher
Claremont is an amazing landscape garden and worth visiting in every season. Includes the large turf amphitheatre, serpentine lake, grotto, Camellia Terrace and Belvedere Tower.
Steeped in nearly 300 years of history, this eighteenth-century garden is a green oasis in the heart of Surrey within easy reach of London. Previously the countryside retreat of queens and heirs, Claremont has always been somewhere to escape everyday life and enjoy simple outdoor pleasures.
Many of the great names in landscape design history played a part in the creation of the estate. Over the years Sir John Vanbrugh, Charles Bridgeman, William Kent and 'Capability' Brown all put their own distinctive stamp on the pleasure grounds, and in 1866 Queen Victoria herself acquired the estate to save it from development.
Today you can still spot lots of historical features in the garden, including the large turf amphitheatre, serpentine lake, grotto, Camellia Terrace and Belvedere Tower.
