The gardens and parkland at Newstead Abbey cover more than 300 acres.
Newstead Abbey's landscape owes much of its beauty to the River Leen,
which feeds the lakes, ponds that ornament Newstead's gardens.
From his student rooms at Trinity College Lord Byron brought a tame
bear to Newstead Abbey.
The bear roamed the gardens in the company of Lord Byron's other pet
animals, including several large dogs, tortoises and a wolf. |
