Britain's largest Japanese garden, which fell into neglect after World War II, has been restored to its former glory and opened to the public earlier this month for the first time in the postwar period.
The 28,300-sq.-meter plot lies in the extensive grounds of the 17th century mansion Kingston Lacy in Wimborne Minister, 150 km southwest of London.
Experts have attempted to re-create the original garden, which was principally Japanese in design but also influenced by the fashions of King Edward VII's era (1901-1910).
