| Description |
Waddesdon has one of the finest Victorian gardens in Britain, famous for its Parterre, seasonal displays, colourful shrubs, mature trees, statues and carpet bedding. At its heart lies the Aviary, stocked with species that were once part the collection and other birds that are depicted on Waddesdon's famous Sèvres porcelain collection. Look out for the three-dimensional carpet bedding in the form of baskets and birds on the restored Parterre on the south side of the House. |
