You were right patchem,

Dunorlan was designed by the Scottish landscape gardener Robert Marnock (1800-1890) for millionaire Henry Reed between 1854-1864.

Vicci Report 23 Jul 2011 07:35

Dunorlan Park was once the private grounds of a large and very grand mansion owned by the Yorkshire-born millionaire, Henry Reed, who made his fortune in Tasmania.
The garden was laid out in the 1850s and 1860s by the renowned Victorian gardener Robert Marnock. Although the mansion no longer exists, the garden is one of the best preserved examples of Marnock's work.

Dunorlan is remarkable in having a number of artificial 'Pulhamite' stone features made by the firm James Pulham and Son of Broxbourne. Pulham also contributed to the design of Dunorlan by extending and modifying the lake.

When Tunbridge Wells Borough Council applied to the Heritage Lottery Fund in 1996 for a grant to restore Dunorlan, much of Marnock's exotic Victorian landscape was still in place. Some of the original trees and shrubs planted by Marnock could be identified, but much of the planting was over-mature.

Dunorlan is now a landscape of national importance; a place where everyone can enjoy a richly varied Victorian garden, meadows and wildlife, as well as the amenities of a modern park.
