The Manor of Radbourne has been held by the Chandos family since the Norman Conquest. Radbourne Hall was built between 1739 and 1745 and is located within the park. Radbourne Park is a 600-acre parkland surrounding Radbourne Hall, an 18th-century country house, and was originally landscaped in 1790 by William Emes. The park was designed by William Emes, a distinguished Derbyshire landscaper, in 1790. A ten-year restoration plan began in 2003 to restore the park to its original 1790 design.

The orangery at Kedleston originally faced south-east, creating the perfect environment for orange and lemon trees to thrive. However, due to a change in the garden’s design in 1920, it is no longer in use. The concrete is now failing, and the NT has had to close the building for safety reasons.

Robert Adam was commissioned to redesign the formal garden at Kedleston Hall. The result was a pleasure ground of trees and shrubs that linked seamlessly with the surrounding park by means of the ha ha - a sunken wall which was invisible from a distance but effectively kept livestock out of the garden.
