Notes: Walcot Park has an extensive landscape park with an associated country house. Other features include an arboretum and a 12 hectare garden. Walcot Hall, originally of the 16th century, had associated gardens from at least the late-17th century. There was also an extensive park at Walcot Hall as early as 1730 (Parks and Gardens UK). The park is open to the public at certain times.
