13 Gardens and Grounds The current owner has spent 60 years transforming the grounds to the beautiful gardens that they are today. The gardens at Consall Hall occupy an exceptional setting due to the extraordinary arrangement of four valleys ranging from 700 ft above sea level at the house, down to 450 ft at the floor of the lowest valley. The arrangement of the valleys form an interesting and attractive natural site for the house. The Sprink Valley on the west of the house, running from the Lodge to the Hall, contains the Azalea, Water gardens and the Arch Bridge. The Laund Valley sits to the east of the house with the cottage summer house with views over the land. The Dingle Valley, which is the main valley of the house, holds the Laund and Dingle Pool. The Park Valley runs from the Lodge Pool to the Quarry Pool and descends to the Dell. The stunning landscaped gardens are vast with a selection of pathways, numerous majestic lakes, bridges, follies and a summerhouse creating a series of enchanting vistas.
