-
- The Ambers is situated in three
acres of beautiful gardens that once formed part of Drinkstone
Park, a mansion built in the mid 1700’s. The mansion was
demolished in 1950.

 |
- Drinkstone Park was renowned for
the orchids grown here in the hot houses, mentioned in The Gardeners
Chronicle 1835. The artist Gainsborough came here to paint and
indeed there is a painting by Gainsborough called Drinkstone
Park. He also painted Joshua Grigsby (1760 -1765), the then owner
of the park.
-
- When we first moved to Drinkstone
Park the grounds were a blank canvas consisting of the old turning
circle to the mansion (the American Army who used the mansion
during the war had reinforced this with concrete) grassland and
the mature trees which we have conserved.

- Christine, who is the daughter
of the late Ken Harbutt (well known horticulturalist and founder
of Rougham Hall Nurseries) and also a Chelsea Gold winner in
her own right, set to work!

- Today the gardens include mature
trees, two ponds, extensive shrubberies, herbaceous borders,
an orchard and a vegetable garden. Our guests are invited to
enjoy the gardens which offer superb opportunities for relaxation,
quiet contemplation, photography or painting and have magnificent

Ha’

Hut' where guests are welcome to spend a day painting the landscapes
