Want to learn about some of the historic objects around the Manor, but don't have the time for the full Grounds & Garden Tour? Or have you always wondered about those large pieces on the front and back lawns of Ringwood Manor? This shorter version of the Grounds & Garden tour only takes 1 hour and will take visitors around the immediate vicinity of Ringwood Manor, discussing the historic objects on the front lawn, the architecture of the Manor, and the Italian sunken garden behind the building. Historic photographs of the property will also be shown.
