This area was formed as a result of landscaping carried out by Lancelot "Capability" Brown in the 1770's.




It was planted with rhododendrons collected by the young Joseph Hooker from the Himalayas in the mid-19th century.




The Dell was rated by the expert Victorian gardener, Donald Beaton, as being amongst the best in the country. He called it the "Sikkim of Kew" .
