Extensive gardens forming part of the Cantley Estate and adjoining Cantley Hall. They were laid out in 1785 for Childers Walbank Childers, a fervent advocate of estate improvement and agricultural reform. The main approach was via the West Lodge near the Great North Road which led to a long drive through the park to the house. A ha-ha forms the boundary of the gardens on three sides. Prior to emparkment the area probably consisted of piecemeal fields associated with the earlier farmhouse. Legibility of the former character is invisible.
