The 30 acres (12 ha) of gardens include a walled garden, with pyracantha covering the library wall, a rock garden, a winter garden, a woodland walk with an ilex collection, and a lake garden. A sensory garden is stocked with mahonia japonica and garrya elliptica.

History
Capel Manor house is marked on Grenewood's map of 1819 (as 'Capel House'), on the Ordnance Survey map of 1887, and c.1615 as 'Capels', a manorial name for the "estate of the family called Capel", from Sir George Capel 1547.
A specimen copper beech, which was over three hundred years old, was destroyed in the Great Storm of October 1987. The tree originated from the Black Forest in Germany, and was one of the earliest exemplars of its type in England. The upper branches were bound with 'Victorian tree bracing', a method of branch support and protection in use in the nineteenth century. Today the site is occupied by the Italianate maze.
In late 1997 work started on the Princess of Wales Memorial Garden, in memory of Diana Princess of Wales.
