The
restoration and extension of the historic gardens of Great Fosters, the
first country house hotel in England. The project has been achieved through
a unique partnership between the private owner, English Heritage, The
Environment Agency, The Highways Agency, Runnymede Borough Council, Surrey
County Council and The Surrey Gardens Trust.
The project has included:
• Restoration of the historic approaches and listed
formal gardens around the house; extending the formal gardens with new
and complementary designs.
• Reacquisition of the original grounds and
creation of a new lake; regenerating existing oak woodland and stream
corridors.
• Protection of the land from the intrusion of the
M25 motorway with 6 metre high earthworks and a formal turf amphitheatre.
