Brodick > The White Sunk Garden is a major part of the formal gardens on the upper levels. The pond, which looks as if it has been here for ever, was actually built in 1972, with the centre piece being a copy of one seen at the Chelsea Flower Show.
Brodick > Kiftsgate Court was built in 1887-91 by Sydney Graves Hamilton who owned Mickleton Manor, on to which one of his ancestors, Walwyn Graves (1744-1813), had built a Georgian front with a high portico. This facade was moved, with the help of a specially constructed light railway, up to a new site on Glyde Hill and become Kiftsgate Court.
Brodick > There are some superb gardens, this one the Fountain Court.
Brodick > Italian style gardens became popular in the mid-19th century, and were still being created up to the eve of the First World War. They were something of a reaction against the naturalistic or parkland style which had been dominant in Britain since Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown and consisted of a number of features. These included formal designs with a symmetrical layout of shaped beds, known as parterres, often surrounded by low beech hedges, fountains, urns, statuary and stone balustrading.
