Mount Congreve Gardens and Country Estate

Mount Congreve House, built in 1760 by John Roberts, has been home to six generations of Congreves. Inspired by Lionel de Rothschild’s garden at Exbury, garden director Herman Dool began work on the gardens in the 1950s, and Ambrose Congreve’s passion for his spectacular garden is still evident today.
