Gardens in the Cotswolds
The Cotswolds is brilliant for garden lovers—think manor house planting, arts-and-crafts design, and huge seasonal colour in arboretums.
Classic gardens and estates
- Hidcote Manor Garden – a must for garden fans.
- Painswick Rococo Garden – playful, different, and very photogenic.
Arboretums for big seasonal colour
- Westonbirt Arboretum – especially strong in autumn.
- Batsford Arboretum – great for a calmer half-day.
Local tip
When you’ve picked your shortlist, check the map and cluster your day. The Cotswolds rewards slow travel — one area per day tends to feel better than racing around.
