Gatton Park
Gatton Park, Royal Alexandra and Albert School, Rocky Lane, Reigate, Surrey, RH2 0TW
Gatton Park in Reigate, Surrey, was created in the eighteenth century by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, the most famous landscape architect of the time. His distinctive style of sweeping views and vistas, meandering lakes, small ponds and mounds planted with clusters of trees have been restored to their former glory and the view from Gatton Hall is considered to be one of the finest in Surrey. Later additions to the 250 acre park from Victorian and Edwardian times have also been restored over the last 25 years with hidden gardens and walks now revealed - including an extensive Victorian rock garden, Edwardian parterre and stunning Japanese garden with pools, stepping stones, bridge and even a tea house. Our latest project, still in its early stages, is the restoration of the Old World Rose Garden, built by Sir Jeremiah Colman. The history of Gatton can be traced back to the Domesday Book with characterful owners throughout the centuries. It even has its own Town Hall!
