Mellor's Gardens

Mellor's Gardens are the gardens of Hough Hole House and are located to the northwest of the village of Rainow, Cheshire, England. They were created by James Mellor, a local industrialist, their design being inspired by the teaching of Emanuel Swedenborg, and are a representation of John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress. Having been neglected in the 20th century, they have been restored and are open to visitors by arrangement. The gardens are listed at Grade II in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, and contain a number of Grade II listed buildings.
