 | Croome Court in Worcestershire is a stately home, built by the 6th Earl of Coventry in the 18th century. The surrounding parkland was designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. The formal gardens were lost during Capability Brown's redesign, but he added a beautiful lake with islands and bridges, plus a very realistic artificial river. Today these parklands and informal gardens host a variety of wildlife, which often goes unnoticed. Click on the Oak Leaf to see the National Trust's website for Croome.
