A stunning exhibition celebrating the influence of the country’s most famous landscape designer in more than 300 years has opened at a stately home on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border whose grounds he designed.

The Green World of Brown, which is now on show at Weston Park, examines the enduring impact of Capability Brown.

The free exhibition – which runs every day until 26 September in the Rose Paterson Gallery was officially opened by the Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire, Anna Turner.

It brings together the work of a host of creative people influenced by Brown over the last 300 years in more than 60 estates and public parks that are still enjoyed today.

It has been put together by The Landscape Foundation (UK) and showcases various Brown landscapes from across the country to help visitors experience both the dramatic scale of his stunning panoramas and the detail of his designs.

A community project for students from local schools will also run alongside the exhibition.

The exhibition is open daily from 11am to 4pm.
