The Peto Garden at Iford Manor was designed by the Edwardian architect Harold Peto, who lived at Iford from 1899 until his death in 1933. The romantic Italianate garden is characterised by pools, colonnades and terraces, but receiving influence from many gardening styles from around the world.
Particularly of note are the stunning displays of Wisteria Sinensis in mid-late May.

I agree - Iford Manor is a much nicer place than Peto's parents' house (Somerleyton Hall). He had a wonderful site, excellent taste and unrepeatable opportunities to collect ornaments etc in Italy.




(5.0/5)Totally sublime !
Even though it was tipping with rain the place oozed gracious elegance. A fine balance of space and plantings.
Plenty of interesting plants, sight lines, etc. This garden is superb !
I would love to see all the Wisterias in full show !
Mr HP is a genius !!




(5.0/5)Oh what a beautiful garden this is! You wonder where you are going as you wind down the hill into the valley and suddenly you see Iford Manor ahead of you. This is a garden that shouldn't be missed - every corner you turn gives you another wonderful vista - it's like being on a stage set, but without the players.




(5.0/5)This garden is for true romantics! A bit of Italy in the UK - peaceful and tranquil with interesting planting and delightful garden buildings.
