Nestled within the Chinese Gardens is a spot as regal as its name — a carved gateway and terrace that frames the whole garden beyond it.
The Imperial Garden is the ceremonial approach to the Chinese Gardens, built around a carved stone gateway and a curved terrace.
It is the estate's most dramatic backdrop for portraits, and a favourite stop on guided tours.
