200 acres of superbly landscaped garden and parkland. The garden was inaugurated for the 60th birthday of the king - in 1987. It is maturing into fine parkland, water gardens and flower bedding schemes of exotic plants. There are also many superb trees planted within the grounds.

Peaceful meandering paths lead through the garden - never far from a water feature - and are edged with borders and beds of plants and shrubs which will be the envy of European visitors. Together with this, there are several plantings of palms and other exotic trees and plant.
The commemoration hall seen below, houses exhibitions of projects and many Royal artefacts are also housed here within the garden setting.
A big disappointment
for the writer, was the inclusion of an 'English Garden'! Brick
walls maybe, but there the similarity ended. But in defence, who
could now describe a truly 'English' garden.
