The lush greens of Spring give way to the bold colours of peonies and roses on this late June tour of some of the West Country’s most magical gardens and estates. We are delighted to bring you several exclusive visits, including the 16th-century home and garden of Julian and Isabel Bannerman, and the intimate, secret garden at Chilcombe.
The price of the tour includes your 6 night stay at Symondsbury Manor, an eclectic and comfortable private manor house with a distinguished history, as well as delicious teas and dinners prepared by Caroline and Clare, with help from Dorset’s best cake baker, Haley. As usual we will be lunching at a variety of our favourite restaurants in this beautiful corner of south-west England. It’s all included.
