This List of sites on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens is a list of parks and gardens featured on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England. The list is managed by English Heritage and currently has about 1,450 sites listed.
As with Listed Buildings, parks and gardens are graded on a scale, Grade I being internationally significant sites; these are therefore the most important and constitute around 10% of the total number. Historically important gardens are Grade II* (about 30% of the total) and the remainder are of regional or national importance and are Grade II registered.
Provided at the end of this page are those sites which were formerly listed but have since been delisted.

“Have We not made the earth as a cradle
and the mountains as pegs?
And We created you in pairs,
and We appointed your sleep for a rest;
and We appointed night for a garment,
and We appointed day for a livelihood.
And We have built above you seven strong ones,
and We appointed a blazing lamp
and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading
that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants,
and gardens luxuriant.”
—Qur’an, “The Tiding” 78:6-16, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
