Behind a Victorian mansion, lies one of the most extraordinary gardens in Britain…it contains whole continents, including China and Ancient Egypt – not to mention Italian terraces and a Scottish glen.
Biddulph Grange is a National Trust Grade I listed historic garden, in Biddulph near Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England
Biddulph Grange was developed by James Bateman (1811–1897), the accomplished horticulturist and landowner; he inherited money from his father, who had become rich from coal and steel businesses. He moved to Biddulph Grange around 1840, from nearby Knypersley Hall. He created the gardens with the aid of his friend and painter of seascapes Edward William Cooke.
A masterpiece of Victorian garden design with an important collection of plants from around the world arranged in a series of garden rooms.
The spectacular Chinese garden. A riot of colour, golden statues, pagoda, watch tower, joss house, golden buffalo. gilded bells - all in the setting of an oriental plant collection.
Geological gallery. A unique Victorian display of fossils and geological strata laid out according to the Biblical days of creation, a fascinating journey through time.
The stumpery. The oldest stumpery in the country and the inspiration for many more. An atmospheric sunken path bordered by upside-down oak tree roots.
