Gardenvisit Editorial

During the nineteenth century, the original eighteenth century design was lost as much of the garden was converted to grow fruit and vegetables. Using a painting, by Thomas Robins in 1748, the garden is being fully restored to its eighteenth century character. Its main features are rococco buildings, woodland walks and well-planned vistas. In spring, the snowdrops are dramatic.

History

This garden is a pleasure ground created in the decadent and fun loving early 18th century. Follies nestle in a hidden valley surrounded by magnificent Cotswolds views. A large Kitchen Garden produced many crops that are used in the garden's own restaurant.

Wonderful vista's ! Intriguing veg. garden, beautifully maintained. Some lovely site lines, and yet one anticipates more to admire. Perhaps as more investment goes into furnishing the landscape with a richer pallette of plants and colour it will improve.
Pleasant tearooms, good cake !!
