The estate at Half Moon has been left to the National Trust. The garden is part of a much larger aesthetic achievement: a designed landscape extending throughout the estate, which shows a profound level of thought and aesthetic awareness, reflecting the Roman Catholic faith of former owner artist Jeanne du Maurier and the poet Noel Welch.
