This glorious garden is often overlooked, in favour of its National Trust neighbour, Hidcote. It's definitely worth the effort. The site offers stunning views, and a steep slope down which is cleverly terraced, with a lovely half moon pool at the bottom. Gorgeous, but a bit of a stretch if you have mobility issues. There's more than enough to keep you enthralled on the flat main part of the garden, with a series of pretty 'rooms' and impressive colourist borders. The rose garden was sadly past its prime when we visited in early August, though the variety, size and rich colours of the hydrangea beds were mind-blowing.
