This iconic garden, developed over decades by the visionary Lawrence Johnston, is a triumph of structure, intimacy, and seasonal magic. Wander through outdoor rooms framed by tall yew hedges and stone walls, each revealing a unique setting: sun-drenched borders overflowing with perennials, tranquil lily pools, and formal lawns lined with lavender and roses. The flow from one space to another feels both spontaneous and deliberate, like a well-choreographed dance between nature and design. It's a place that rewards slow exploration—where even the smallest details, like a perfectly framed view or a forgotten path, feel like personal discoveries. Why Visit: Explore one of the first truly "garden-room" designs See rare and unusual plants brought from around the world Experience peace, creativity, and Cotswold charm in one place Ideal for garden lovers, photographers, and seekers of beauty
