More about this scene
There are over 60 acres of gardens at the palace; these were begun by Cardinal Wolsey in the 16th century and remodelled by William III and Mary II in the Baroque manner. The great vine and the maze are the two most popular items to visit, but there is also the orangery, the Tudor garden, and the privy garden, restored in 1995. To the south of the palace are the Pond Gardens. These three sunken gardens were originally ornamental ponds used for holding freshwater fish until they were needed in the kitchens for cooking. Today they have been transformed with impressive displays of spring and summer bedding.
