context_page_description: Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens are situated adjacent to the west side of Castle Bromwich Hall, a Jacobean Mansion. They are in the old centre of Castle Bromwich, a large village in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull of the English West Midlands area.
context_section_description: These 10 acres (40,000 m²) walled Baroque gardens are listed grade II* and are the only remaining example in the country of a formal English garden design.  They are being restored as near as possible to the period 1680–1740, which was when they were at their best, and contain over 600 species of plants from the time. 
  The Holly Maze is a mirror image of the one at Hampton Court Palace designed by George London and Henry Wise. The Kitchen and Fruit garden is based on a design by Batty Langley from his book "New Principles of Gardening". 
  The Hall and other buildings are privately owned. Castle Bromwich Hall itself is now a hotel.  All buildings and the gardens closest to the house can be seen from the Gardens or roads.
  A DVD of the gardens by Great Britain Online is available.
