Renishaw Hall Gardens is located in Derbyshire, United Kingdom. The gardens were laid out in 1895 by Sir George Sitwell who was the owner of Renishaw Hall. Most of the gardens on the property are Italian in style. Visitors will see ornamental ponds, a lovely fountain, secret garden rooms, and classical statues. There is also a children's garden with a living willow tunnel. The gardens are open from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM Wednesday through Sunday. Cost of admission is 6 British pounds for adults, and 3 British pounds for children.
