Hidcote Manor Garden
Hidcote
An Arts and Crafts garden on the northern edge of the Cotswolds, divided by hedges into a series of 'outdoor rooms', and one of England's most influential gardens.
Hidcote Manor Garden sits on a hillside near Chipping Campden, about 14 km south of Stratford. American horticulturist Lawrence Johnston created it in the early 20th century. Yew and hornbeam hedges divide the garden into 28 distinct 'outdoor rooms', including a red border, a white garden and a long lawn walk, and its design has shaped English garden-making ever since. Managed by the National Trust, admission is about £20, and parts of the garden close in winter. Roses and borders are at their best in June and July. Combine a visit with nearby Chipping Campden.
