Historic Parks and Gardens

Concern over the condition of historic parks and gardens has increased in recent years with placing of a stronger emphasis on their value and the importance of their preservation for the future.  We have 88 historically important parks and gardens in Wychavon and 7 of these are registered as being of national importance.
