The
Design
Ugbrooke
Park was designed by Capability Brown and offers
tempting glimpses of distant Dartmoor. The Estate
is situated in the gentle valley of the Ug brook
which falls through a series of picturesque
lakes. The gardens stretch down to the lakeside
unveiling delightful views at every turn. The
parkland contains groups of fine mature trees,
including Sessile, Red and Luccombe Oak, Giant
Redwoods and magnificent English tree species.

The lake is well stocked
with trout and home to numerous wildfowl. Enjoy the peace and tranquillity while strolling along the
lakeside to the water splash cascading to
the bottom lake.

garden and grounds.
