The Château is set upon an ocean of green lawns and it's surrounded by an English-style park.
The gardens and the park at Cheverny are vast
and include the formal gardens and water features that we expect of a Loire Valley castle,
as well as less formal areas of woodland.
The ornamental garden, called The Apprentice’s Garden, covers an area once occupied by a formal French garden.
Situated between the château and the Orangery it boasts a splendid view over the park.
At the castle's left side is the English-style park, where Paul de Vibraye acclimated between 1820-1860 some rare trees.
The park holds an interesting collection of trees including giant redwoods,
cedars (a magnificent cedar alley more than 500m long), lindens and lime trees.
