Appraisal
This well constructed walled garden is located in close proximity to Beaulieu House and church and a key feature of the Demesne. The garden stands as a reminder of the way in which a large demesne would have been managed with the production of fruit and vegetables for the big house being undertaken on site. The walled garden is still a well managed and maintained garden and a focus for many visitors to the house.
