Highgrove & Hidden Gardens of the Cotswolds

HRH King Charles’s Highgrove gardens will be our first visit of the day. King Charles’s vision for a haven of a vast array of both plant life and wildlife, has been innovative and inspired many gardens around the World. Reflecting the Prince’s commitment to sustainability, the organic gardens have been created using sustainable techniques. Each corner of the garden is awash with colour and life and is truly a delight to explore and makes it one of our favourite gardens to visit.

After a busy morning with Royalty we’ll stop for lunch at the very British Whatley Manor and whilst you wait for food stroll the trimmed grounds.

Following lunch we could take in the National Arboretum of Westonbirt which is a remarkable place with around 15,000 trees from all over the globe offer the perfect setting to escape, relax or have an adventure.

Cerney House Gardens is a romantic, secret place in the Cotswolds. Set around a Victorian walled garden, it could be described as what most people aspire to in their gardens.

Across the hills Rodmarton Gardens & Manor are worthy of a visit with a different character per area of the garden ranging from the alpines in troughs, bigger plants in the rockery, lawns, a large kitchen garden, white borders, and the magnificent herbaceous borders there is a bit of everything going on. Barnsley House is a great stop for tea and their magical country gardens feel like a fairy-tale. Their famous Laburnum Walk has become iconic and there are surprises at every turn.

Winding across the Cotswold hills with jaw-dropping views we’ll reach our secret private garden, a true gem that will finish of the day in great style! For those looking for more garden adventures check out our Garden Tours.
