The Capability Brown parkland surrounding Audley End House includes many neo-classical monuments. The grounds are divided by the River Granta, which is crossed by several ornate bridges and a main road which follows the route of a Roman road.
With help from an 1877 garden plan and William Cresswell's journal from 1874,the walled kitchen garden was restored by Garden Organic in 1999 from an overgrown, semi-derelict state. Completed in 2000, it was opened by Prince Charles and features in a book presented to him on his wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles. It now looks as it would have done in late Victorian times; full of vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers which have been supplied to the Dorchester Hotel. It now boasts 120 apple, 60 pear and 40 tomato varieties.
