Dyrham Park’s lost terraces have been opened to the public for the first time.

The terraces form part of the 17th century Dutch water garden and over £100,000 has been invested to create a new woodland walk with views of the house.

Over 200 volunteers worked alongside National Trust staff during the last 12 months to complete the massive project. Tonnes of earth, stone and rubble were removed to make way for new paths and 6,000 bluebells.

It's all part of a 10-15 year project to transform the lost terraces into an integral part of the park and garden.
