Private tour of Iford Manor Gardens

Friday 8^th of August, starting at 10am.

Largely created by Harold Peto, Iford Manor’s peaceful, Grade 1 registered garden is unlike any other with its romantic design and architecture, combining formality with nature and magnificent rural views across an unspoilt valley, whilst beautifully framed architectural gems and antiquities punctuate your visit throughout. Set on the last hill of the Cotswolds, within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Having taken over the garden in 2018, William and Marianne Cartwright-Hignett embarked on a 10-year plan to renew the garden. They are now part-way through this transformation, working closely with talented Head Gardener Steve Lannin and his exceptional team. Working alongside nature, and with an eye for detail, the garden is responding to their loving care.

10.00 – Arrival and gather on the bridge for an introduction to Iford
