Open GardensGardens you can visit

We've been there many times.....the house is lovely and feels "lived in" unlike some other National Trust properties!!! We particularly like the walled garden and love the walk past the pond/lake where you can get close to the water's edge and watch the ducks and coots etc.,...I might even have some pics; we visited there quite recently.

The Rose Garden here is to die for! You walk down a green tunnel and you can smell the roses before you get there

Good at any time of the year but try to get there for the Yellow Book opening in September (it was 23rd Sept this year) when the asters are outstanding. The Head Gardener does a guided tour at 11am which is well wrth getting there for.

We visited Westonbirt today, September 19th. We walked along paths through wonderful towering trees of both native and foreign species. There are collections of Acers which were just beginning to change colour. Dogs are allowed in part of the Arboretum, but we were not able to enter the Old Arboretum which I gather is more formally laid out with planned vistas. If you like trees, you will love it here!

We have been to these gardens in previous years - a really great day out!!
