Works schedule

The restoration to Lydiard Park is essential to reverse the decline in its rich historic landscape, which had been gradually falling into a state of neglect of a great number of years. The principal garden features including the lost lake, massive dam wall and the ornamental fruit and flower garden will be restored, allowing Lydiard Park to regain its former beauty and significance.
