Claremont Landscape Gardens
One of the earliest surviving English landscape gardens, now restored. The peaceful garden of Claremont was begun in the early 1700s by Vanbourgh and Bridgeman. There is a lake and island, pavilion, grotto, paths, avenues, turf amphitheatre and terraces. It is especially noted for its rhododendrons and specimen trees. Open Air Concerts are held annually in July.
