Doddington Hall is in Lincolnshire near the City of Lincoln.
Dating back to 1595 it was built by Robert Smythson the celebrated Elizabethan Architect
and completed in 1600. It has been in the same family ever since with 400 years of unbroken
family occupancy. The current owners are Claire & James Birch who took over in 2006.

 |
| We visited during "Iris Week" but they had flowered early this year so we missed the main display. Just these few were still in flower in the walled garden though. |
 |
| There are lots of lovely walks connecting all the gardens together. |
 |
| Around the gardens are many sculptures. |
