Lilliput Lane's "Tranquility" is based on The Old English Garden at Elvaston Castle & Gardens, Borrowash Road  DE72 3EP
It is a walled garden -- but that gives a problem when the gates are locked.
It tells teh closing times but not when its open. I was there about 9am on March 25th, 2010
so my photos are limited to "through the gates"
"Tranquility is a beautiful model of a Victorian walled garden based on a rock garden which was constructed at Elvaston Castle in Derbyshire, England. The piece includes ornate stone gargoyles amongst a spray of flowers."
