Levens Hall is a manor house and gardens in the Kent Valley situated about five miles south of Kendal. The original house on the site dates from around 1350 but much of the present house dates from the Elizabethan era. Levens is now owned by the Bagot family. The following photographs were taken during a visit in July 2018. |

The House. Not the best of photographs as the house front was in heavy shade. |

Some information on the house. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
|
The house is famous for its topiary garden. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
|
The gardens were stunning. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
|
The garden must have taken a lot of watering during the hot summer. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
|
It must take days or weeks to do a complete trim of all the topiary. |
