The magnificent Wrest Park was built in French 17th century style and is an English Heritage site. The gardens are celebrated for their rare early 18th-century layout of wooded walks and canals, centred on the architectural highlight of the pavilion. There is also a Bath House, a Bowling Green House, an Orangery, Italian garden and Parterre with magnificent lead statues dating from the 19th century. Wrest Park's formal gardens provide a fascinating history of gardening styles, laid out over 150 years and inspired by the great gardens of Versailles in France. The house and gardens are open to the public.
