There's loads to see at Myddelton House Gardens with just a few of its wonderful features listed below: The New River Masterminded by Sir Hugh Myddelton, the New River brought fresh water from Ware in Hertfordshire to London. The river became redundant in 1859 but was kept as a feature in the garden until 1967. The footprint of this can still be seen in the gardens in the form of the New River Lawn. The Alpine Meadow In this area of the garden Bowles created an alpine environment inspired by his plant hunting holidays in the Pyrenees. From late winter and into spring a mass of snowdrop and crocus appear, followed shortly after by daffodil and camassia. In summer the area is carpeted in a blue cloud of wild geraniums that grow up through the grass. Fun for the little ones! Let your little ones take on Ossie’s challenge discovering the gems in the gardens and museum. From finding hidden artefacts to colouring and puzzles, this pack is full of fun and comes with colouring pencils so it can be completed on the go. Japanese Knotweed Bowles planted Japanese Knotweed in his garden at Myddelton House as he admired its architectural qualities, something that seems unthinkable today! Widely considered an invasive species, our gardeners still maintain two specimens as a means to educate visitors on how to identify the weed and to demonstrate that through careful maintenance it can be kept in check. The Rock Garden This area is currently being restored and we can’t wait to see what has been achieved after all the hard work put into it! The Market Cross Bowles loved to salvage local relicts and artefacts, rescuing Enfield Town's market cross from a builder’s yard where it was destined to become rubble. It now forms a striking feature in the centre of the Rose Garden, a formal area of beds waiting to be discovered in the hidden middle of the garden. The Pond Forming the centre piece of the gardens, the pond and its fountain make a tranquil spot to pause and watch the world go by. During summer days Bowles could often be seen weeding the pond margins and would regularly use water from the nearby New River to top up the water levels when they got too low.

Nestl ed in the heart of Enfield, the eight acre grounds play host to a variety of trees, shrubs and flowers as well as an extensive heritage kitchen garden and cut flower beds. Bowles dedicated his life to maintaining the gardens at Myddelton House often bringing back unusual plants from his travels. An example of this today is in the ‘Lunatic Asylum’ beds, where plants with contorted stems and foliage can be found. The gardens are a treasure trove of hidden oddities and the beautifully reconstructed Victorian Glasshouse is no exception. With four climatic zones, you will find exotic plants from around the world ranging from cacti which thrive on dry arid conditions to air plants which obtain all of their nutrients from water vapour in the air. The sunken glasshouse, know as the Peach House, is perfect for harvesting fruits that thrive on high humidity. You can visit some of the sections today and discover what’s growing.

With four climatic z ones, you will find exotic plants from around the world ranging from cacti which thrive on dry arid conditions to air plants which obtain all of their nutrients from water vapour in the air. A brief history Myddelton House was built in the reign of George III circa 1812 and completed in 1818. It was built by Henry Carrington Bowles (1763-1830) one of five generations of print and map makers, based at St Paul’s Churchyard, London. It replaced an earlier Elizabethan property, Bowling Green House where Bowles had lived with his wife who died in 1812. After her death, Bowles built the new house in a then fashionable white brick from Suffolk and named it Myddelton House in honour of Sir Hugh Myddelton, an engineering genius who created the New River. A section of the New River had bisected the garden from 1613 until 1968. When Bowles died in 1830 the house was passed to his son, also Henry Bowles who later bequeathed it in 1852 to his nephew, Henry Carrington Bowles Treacher. Treacher assumed the name Bowles by Royal Licence in order to inherit the estate, thus becoming Henry Carrington Bowles Bowles. It’s these initials that can be seen in monogram on the newly restored main gate at the end of the drive. The youngest son of five children to Henry Carrington Bowles and his wife Cornelia was Edward Augustus “Gussie” Bowles, born in 1865 who became one of the great gardeners of the 20th century. He originally trained for the church, but family tragedies caused him to change course and he remained at Myddelton House and developed the remarkable garden as a self-taught horticulturist. For many years people came from all over the country to visit. He became an expert on many plants, particularly the Crocus and was dubbed “The Crocus King”. The connection with the Bowles family is still maintained today and Brigadier Andrew Henry Parker Bowles is the current President of the EA Bowles of Myddelton House Society . The beautiful Victorian Glasshouse range is open to the public. The restoration of the Kitchen Gardens led to the discovery of the foundations of the original glasshouse range. A collection of tender plants was transferred from the 1950s London School of Pharmacy glasshouses, which were subsequently demolished. Unique details have been kept in the designs, such as four climatic zones, a vine house complete with gauged arches to allow vine roots to remain outside and the vines to grow inside and a sunken glasshouse that would have been used to grow fruit such as melons and cucumbers. The gardens have had four Conservation Management Plans written, CMP4 is the current version. The plans address the historic nature listing a range of past elements to the gardens and actions that are taken to preserve various elements that sit within the Grade II registered landscape listing. Copies of the four CMP’s can be downloaded here: CMP 1 (2003 - 06) See plan CMP 2 (2006 - 08) See plan CMP 3 (2008 - 12) See plan CMP 4 (2018 - present) See plan The Bowles Tea Room Take a break from exploring the gardens with a hot drink in the Bowles Tea Room.

The nature reserve and Waterworks Fields are still open to people adhering to the national or local restrictions when they apply. We're reviewing the future of the WaterWorks Centre at present and it will remain closed whilst this review is carried out. Middlesex Filter Beds There are some exciting works taking place on Middlesex Filter Beds to rewet the beds. You can see the update here. WaterWorks Centre nature reserve Over 500 varieties of plants and one quarter of Britain’s butterfly species have been recorded here, so there’s so much to see when out and about on the reserve. The WaterWorks Centre nature reserve has become a unique wildlife haven and is a fantastic area for all the family to visit, just a few miles from central London. Over 150 years ago, when it was known as the Essex Filter Beds, it supplied the surrounding boroughs with much needed clean water. Today it is home to one of the largest bird hides in London offering close-up views across a series of filter beds, each with its own unique character. WaterWorks Centre field By 1933, the area, once part of Leyton Marshes and known asThe WaterWorks Field was being used for recreation, mainly football pitches. Lee Valley Regional Park acquired the site on 26 July 1969, and it was then converted to a pitch and putt course until 2003 when the WaterWorks Centre was built and the pitch and putt upgraded to an 18-hole, 3-par golf course, which operated until its closure in 2012. The area was used as a campsite during London 2012 Olympics and continued to provide camping during the Shell Expo at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and occasional events. Since the closure of the golf course, infrastructure was removed and a more relaxed management of the site was adopted, there still remains a few of the bunkers around the periphery of the site which now act as basking points for insects and reptiles. There is a small fenced off area which is used for dog agility classes at weekends and Forest Schools during the week. The site links to Hackney Marshes over Friends Bridge and to Walthamstow Marshes. Please be advised there is no swimming at this site. See more on our water safety policy here . Middlesex Filter Beds This ten acre haven for wildlife is a short walk from the neighbouring WaterWorks Centre nature reserve. Built by the East London WaterWorks Company in the mid 1800s they demonstrate how previously industrial areas can become valuable habitats for wildlife. Spring At WaterWorks Centre nature reserve , Waders on passage through the valley often drop into the site. Common and Green Sandpiper are regular visitors, whilst Wood Sandpiper and Black-tailed Godwit have also been seen. The brickwork of the old bed walls at Middlesex Filter Beds provides shelter for amphibians and in spring the wetlands are home to frogs, toads and newts. The weir is a good spot for Grey Wagtail and Kingfisher, which nest along the banks. Summer The secluded beds at WaterWorks Centre nature reserve are a fantastic place to get up-close to birds like Pochard and Little Grebe who breed here. Sand Martin are regular summer visitors, see them feeding on insects overhead. Certain beds have been allowed to form dense scrub and are home to species such as Garden Warbler, Blackcap, Whitethroat, Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff, whilst Sedge and Reed Warbler nest amongst the reeds. The site is a fantastic place for reptiles and amphibians, you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a Grass Snake or Common Lizard sunning itself on a stony bank. Listen out for the distinctive call of the Edible Frog which can often be seen in the wellhead at the bird hide. The flood relief channel adjacent to the site is an excellent place to view bats foraging for insects in the warm summer evenings. Winter The wetter filter beds at WaterWorks Centre nature reserve provide great up-close views of winter wildfowl including Teal and Shoveler. Snipe can be seen feeding around the muddy edges of the reeds.
