About Chillington Hall

The fine Georgian house is the third to be built on this site and sits magnificently in the landscaped parkland designed by Capability Brown during the 1760’s.
The magnificent oak avenue leading to the front of the house dates from the 17th century, whilst the remaining grounds around the house and the lake were laid out in the 1760s by 'Capability’ Brown.
Brown was responsible for the park, making an enormous lake of 70 acres by building a dam and flooding three existing lakes.
The lake is accessed from a drive which runs alongside a manmade canal designed to give the impression of walking along a river bank.
There were three follies of Roman, Gothic and Grecian design around the lake, these were to enhance the landscape and entertain guests.
There are three bridges of which one is a sham bridge by Brown, the bridge over the canal where the canal meets the lake is by James Paine, who described the lake as 'confessedly one of the finest pieces of inland water that the nation possesses'.
