The Leasowes, Grade I listed estate in Halesowen, England.

The Leasowes spans 57 hectares of land with streams, pools, woodland walks, and ornamental features within a carefully designed landscape setting.

William Shenstone transformed The Leasowes between 1743 and 1763 into an ornamental farm, creating an early example of English landscape gardens.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams explored The Leasowes gardens in 1786, with Adams noting the grounds' excellence in his travel records.

The estate now functions as Halesowen Golf Club while maintaining public access to its historic gardens and landscaped grounds.

The property contains preserved 1770s kitchen garden walls and cascading water features that flow through wooded valleys toward Priory Pool.
