Step into the enchanting world of Belcombe Court, where filmmaker Paul Weiland and his wife Caroline have transformed a historic estate and former clothier's house into a beautiful garden blending 18th century charm with contemporary elegance. This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of a remarkable house and its gardens, tracing their history and following the rhythm of the seasons as they flourish throughout the year. Set within 60 acres of parkland, the neo-classical, picturesque-style grounds reveal a world of discovery including fern-filled courtyards, gothic archways, and even a hidden grotto. At the heart of the estate lies a walled kitchen garden, designed by award-winning landscape designer Arne Maynard. Once overgrown and fallen into disrepair, this is the story of Paul's extraordinary 30-year journey to lovingly restore the land to its Georgian grandeur. With patience, passion, and a director's eye, he has transformed the estate into a garden where history, imagination, and horticulture flourish side by side. * The landscaped garden at Belcombe is registered by English Heritage as being of special historic interest * Belcombe is host to 'If Opera' every summer. A collection of staged and costumed performances in a purpose-built theatre on the grounds * Paul Weiland is a well-connected successful film and advertising director.
