Ditchley Park
Not open to the public. Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe designed one of the last Italian gardens in England at Ditchley Park. The knot/parterre has gone but the rest of the garden survives in good condition. Jellicoe reinstated the terrace, which Gibbs designed and made a pool with fountains. Statues were brought from Wrest Park.

Caveman Restaurant The Caveman Restaurant, at the entrance to the Cheddar Caves, is flourishing but Jellicoe's 'fish pond' glass roof is said to have leaked and was replaced with a solid roof. The seting and design of the restaurant suggest a gateway to the underworld.
