Championing the history of Kingswood

The Elm Walk

A notable pathway that takes you from the lawns to the Summer House
Location
Gardens

This pathway stretched almost a quarter of a mile from the lawns to the Summer House, following the course of the leet and originally upon a raised causeway between it and the lake.

The elms, recorded by Canon Ellacombe in 1881, were struck down by Dutch Elm disease in the 1970s.

Walks were an important part of garden design in the Dutch style and a smaller Laurel walk was noted in the 19th century between the boat house and the mound.
