Geocache Description:


This cache was part of the old Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation series. Placed with the kind permission of Essex Waterways, please refer to the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation (GC37P3P) cache for more information on this walk along the canal.

The historic Gardens of Easton Lodge date back over 400 years. Their most renowned owner was the Countess of Warwick, mistress of Edward VII. In 1902 she commissioned leading designer Harold Peto to create stunning formal gardens. Abandoned in 1950 after the demolition of the house the gardens were forgotten for nearly 45 years. In 1993 an ambitious restoration programme was started. Today the 23 acres of gardens have a magical atmosphere, as the splendour of a century ago is gently revealed, allowing the visitor to imagine their past glories and enjoy their tranquil present.
