Barnsley Resort is situated on the grounds of a historic former manor house near Adairsville, Georgia, United States.

Barnsley's granddaughter, Adelaide Saylor, and her family who were living there at the time, moved into the kitchen wing and the main house was never restored,[3] and eventually fell to ruins.

In 1988 Prince Hubertus Fugger purchased the estate and began a major project to stabilize the ruins and rescue and restore the gardens.

The original boxwood hedges planted in the early 1840s still survived and had grown up into a thicket of small trees and vines.

These were carefully cut back over a number of years to reveal the interweaving paths and flower beds of the original parterre garden.
