Lydiard Park, Country park and Grade II listed garden in West Swindon, England
The 260-acre parkland features formal gardens, woodlands, and open spaces surrounding an 18th-century Palladian mansion known as Lydiard House.
The St John family owned the estate from 1420 until World War II, during which the property served as a military hospital for American and German forces.
The gardens reflect different landscaping approaches through centuries, from formal Renaissance designs to the naturalistic English Landscape Garden Style of the 1740s.
Visitors can access multiple facilities including a café, restrooms, children's play areas, and extensive walking paths throughout the landscaped grounds.
The park contains an 18th-century ice house and a walled garden with a bronze sundial that remains from the original formal garden design.
