Weston Park, English country house in Blymhill and Weston-under-Lizard, England.
Weston Park is a red brick country house with stone detailing in Blymhill and Weston-under-Lizard near the Shropshire border, now serving as a museum. The main building rises three storeys in a U-shaped plan with eleven bays and sits within formal gardens surrounded by woodland and open parkland.
The estate took shape in the 1670s when Elizabeth Wilbraham designed and built the present manor. Later centuries saw the addition of outbuildings and garden pavilions that expanded the character of the property.
The Temple of Diana, designed by James Paine, stands as a garden house with Ionic columns and served as an orangery for aristocratic leisure.
Several footpaths run through the grounds, linking the main buildings with smaller structures including St Andrew's Church and other listed buildings. The paths pass through different garden sections and offer a circuit of the various parts of the property.
A grotto called Pendrill's Cave was built from sandstone, measuring around two meters (6.5 feet) in height, and tucked into the garden landscape as a retreat for private gatherings. The small structure shows how 17th-century landscape gardens played with hidden elements.
