Stockwood Park…

Posted on June 2, 2011 by Patrick| 2 Comments

The ornate Italian Garden at Stockwood Park in Luton, Bedfordshire, England, now forms an area that once presented a Well Head in front of Stockwood House demolished in 1964. Stockwood Park and Gardens are spread over a large landscaped area that offers craft museums and a golf course. There is also an Elizabethan Garden, Dutch Garden, and an Improvement Garden with sculptures of Roman and Greek Influence. We spent an enjoyable day there, also taking in The Mossman Carriage Collection.
