Newton Park is an 18th-century landscape garden, designed by the landscape gardener Capability Brown, and now owned by the Duchy of Cornwall.
Newton Park was laid out on land containing the 14th century keep and gateway of St Loe's Castle, a fortified medieval manor house, Elizabethan farm buildings, and various enclosed gardens.[1]
It is 6 km (4 mi) west of Bath, Somerset, England between the A39 Wells Road and the village of Newton St Loe. Some of the park is leased to Bath Spa University, who maintain the historic Georgian manor house and ornamental lakes, as well as Newton Saint Loe castle.
The Newton Park country house, which was built in 1762-5 by Stiff Leadbetter for Joseph Langton, is a Grade I listed building[2] and is currently home to Bath Spa University's administrative staff. The country house was used as a Red Cross hospital to house Australian and New Zealand troops in World War I.[3] The grounds include Newton St Loe Castle, comprising a keep, which was actually a part of a fortified mansion,[4] and a 15th century gatehouse,[5] which are both Grade I listed.
