Hestercombe House & Gardens
Taunton, United Kingdom

Created in the second half of the 18th century by garden designer, architect, soldier and landscape painter, Coplestone Warre Bampfylde (1720-91), Hestercombe’s Landscape Garden is a celebrated example of an Arcadian landscape – carefully designed to create variety and changes of mood, and with the all-important views composed as if they were a landscape painting. Bampfylde’s ‘rural sequestered vale’ was widely praised for two centuries after its creation.
