Introduction
The layout of the ornamental gardens and parkland at Boyce Court probably dates back to the early 19th century when the house was rebuilt. The disused Hereford and Gloucester canal forms a formal water feature at the entrance to the property. The grounds include ornamental ponds and woodland drives.
