At the northwestern edge of Ashmanhaugh Wood. The woodland features a variety of rhododendrons and birches but the trees seen here are sycamores. Hoveton Hall gardens surround Hoveton Hall, which was built between 1809 and 1812 by Humphry Repton and his son John Adey Repton. In the 1940s the parkland was ploughed in order to provide food during the war years and most trees were felled. In 1993 the arable sections of the park were re-grassed; presently the grounds encompass 15 acres of formal gardens, lakes and woodland. Hoveton Hall and gardens has been owned by members of the Buxton family since 1946.
