Melbourne Hall
Delightful gardens with herbaceous borders, avenues and terraces with statues and fountains by Jan van Nost the Elder. Other features include the Yew Tunnel and the spectacular Birdcage by Robert Bakewell c.1705-10.
Also look out for the early 17th century dovecot that is now used as a muniment room.
The layout and the majority of the main features of the garden have changed little since the early 18th century. Extensive restoration of the gardens was carried out at the beginning of the twentieth century and continues today.
The house is the permanent home of the Marquis and Marchioness of Lothian.
The gardens are open on Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday Mondays in the afternoons. The house is open most afternoons in August.
Historic Houses and RHS members visit for free.
