In 1987 the park and gardens at Hall Place were entered at Grade II* on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest — a designation held by only a small fraction of England’s historic landscapes. Roughly 100 hectares are registered: some 15 hectares of formal and informal gardens within some 85 hectares of parkland and woodland. The Conservation Management Plan surveys the whole in sixteen character areas; these pages tell the story area by area.
