Colours of Claremont
Claremont Landscape Garden, a National Trust oasis of greenery, is to be found on the Portsmouth Road near Esher in Surrey. Previously a pleasure garden retreat of royalty, Claremont isn’t that big – yet it’s always a delight to visit. And today… well just look at the sumptuous autumn colours!
Many of the great names in landscape design have left their mark on the estate, not least Sir John Vanbrugh and Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. Queen Victoria loved it here – so much so that in 1866 she acquired the estate to save it from development.
