Mells Park, Grade II listed park and garden in Mells, England
The 140-hectare estate features formal gardens, extensive woodlands with mature oak, lime, and beech trees, and terraces retained by freestone walls.
The estate originated as a 17th-century deer park created by the Horner family, who purchased Mells Manor from the Crown in 1543.
Park House, designed by Edwin Lutyens in 1925, represents neoclassical architecture and includes gardens created in collaboration with Gertrude Jekyll.
The estate entrance includes a 19th-century gate lodge built by Chapman of Frome, leading visitors through the main driveway to Park House.
The property served as a secret meeting location for negotiations between the African National Congress and National Party from 1987 to 1990.
