Written and narrated by Michael Graham-Dixon
Since the early 17th century, poets have written about their favourite country houses and this programme features poems on such diverse houses as Chatsworth and Coole Park, Penshurst and Beresford Hall. It also includes poetic advice to the landscape gardener as relevant now as it was in the 18th century.
