• terraced hillside gardens and formal gardens with steps and sloping lawns down to the lakes

• the Studio where a collection of Sir Winston Churchill paintings are displayed

• the kitchen garden which includes the Marycot, a brick playhouse Churchill built for his youngest daughter Mary, and a chicken coop

• woodlands including the Canadian Camp with hammocks, a natural wild play area for children with swings, balance beams and a replica caravan, a bomb crater, a treehouse and woodland walks"
