Levens Hall, in the north of England, has belonged to the same family for 800 years. Its garden was laid out in the seventeenth century by a French garden designer, Guillaume Beaumont, who trained with André Le Nôtre at Versailles.
 

Since then, it has withstood the vagaries of fashion, remaining essentially unchanged over the centuries. The topiary gardens are its crowning glory. The oldest in England and probably in Europe, their trees and shrubs have been painstakingly clipped by generations of gardeners.
