Within the grounds and contemporary with sixteenth century Melford Hall (listed Grade I) are moated gardens and fishponds with a mid-sixteenth century octagonal, two-storey brick summerhouse (listed Grade II*) and crinkle-crankle wall built in 1793. A kitchen garden lies within one of the larger enclosures. These are within the remains of a medieval deer park that was extended in 1613, which has a few ancient oaks and group of later trees dating from the mid-nineteenth century. The site is now owned by the National Trust.

Kentwell Hall

Kentwell Hall is a moated manor house surrounded by gardens dating from the mid-sixteenth century with later developments that include partially moated walled gardens. It stands in a roughly triangular-shaped park with seventeenth century origins that was developed in the late-eighteenth century, possibly by Humprey Repton, and later in the early-nineteenth century.
Gardens open to the general public at certain times and for event days. Check their website for details.
