Introduction

Features of Great Chishill Hall include a walled kitchen garden, paths and a lawn.

The garden has a lawn bordered by small island flower beds. There is a walled kitchen garden and a formal orchard with crossing paths and two small outbuildings. There are fine views of woodlands in Essex from the garden.
