The Elms, Ramsey Forty Foot

Introduction

Features of The Elms include a large water garden, a wide range of trees and shrubs and two lakes.

The water garden incorporates two disused clay quarries originally used for making bricks. The two lakes are landscaped with water-lilies and the banks are covered by a wide range of trees and shrubs. The lakes are divided by a grass causeway with a timber summerhouse affording views to both lakes. English elms still survive along the south boundary.
