Since December 1998 gardens at Chenies have been totally redesigned.
Images below illustrate the gardens to the south of the property as they are today and also plot developments over recent years.
But gardens are living and continually evolving so we will, from time to time, add new images.

June 15th and Mrs Mallard proudly shows off 11 newly hatched chicks.
At less than two hours old they have a dip in the lower pond, a stroll up to the larger pond where they have a swim and a feed, then a rest under mother's wings.
Finally, she leads them down the garden, through the hedge, across the adjoining garden and lane, and onwards to the River Ure.
