The original estate grounds were landscaped by Capability Brown in the 18th Century and it is rumoured that Monkey Bridge enjoys the benefits of this insofar as the off-cuts from the large variety of shrubs and trees were left in the grounds of The Monkeybridge Plantation.

This woodland is a superb asset to Monkey Bridge and truly complements it?s credentials as a Country Home.
