This is my view as I drive into Sheffield on my way home from work each evening. On this occasion I decided to stop and take a photograph.
Grade 1 listed 18th century manor house, privately owned and now divided into separate residences. Adjacent to, and here seen from, Sheffield Park Gardens, owned by The National Trust and open to the public.
Sheffield Park is a Grade I listed garden is a horticultural work of art formed through centuries of landscape design, with influences of 'Capability' Brown and Humphry Repton. Four lakes form the heart of the garden, with paths circulating through the glades and wooded areas surrounding them. Each owner has left their impression, which can still be seen today in the layout of the lakes, the construction of Pulham Falls, the planting of Palm Walk and the many different tree and shrub species from around the world.
