Combermere Abbey, Historic estate with Grade II listed park and garden in Dodcott cum Wilkesley, England
The grand Combermere Abbey estate encompasses 990 acres of parkland, featuring a Gothic style country house and extensive gardens with specimen trees.
Founded in 1133 as a Cistercian monastery, the estate transformed into a private residence after Henry VIII granted it to Sir George Cotton in 1536.
The estate maintains formal gardens, including a geometric garden designed by Peter Beckett and the world's first fruit tree maze created in 1992.
The North Wing of Combermere Abbey operates as a bed and breakfast establishment, providing guests direct access to the historic building and gardens.
The Comber Mere lake within the estate holds designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its diverse bird population.
