Garden, Parks & Flower Shows
Visit beautiful gardens, stunning parks and the most sought-after flower shows.
Bateman's is a seventeenth century house with a twentieth century garden made by Rudyard Kipling, who lived here between 1902-36. Explore the beautiful gardens that surround this beautiful old stone house with an orchard, herb garden, wildflower meadow and pond.

This was the family home of Winston Churchill from 1924 until the end of his life. The rooms and gardens remain much as they did when he lived there and contain personal memorabilia, books and family photographs. The beautiful terraced gardens contain Lady Churchill's Rose Garden and there are lakes created by Churchill.

The Royal Horticultural Society Flower Show is a fabulous pot-pourri of colour, fragrance, seasons and styles which has delighted the world’s gardeners for over 80 years.
Back by popular demand, after our visit last year, Dyffryn Gardens are an exceptional example of Edwardian garden design. Covering more than 55 acres, they feature a stunning collection of intimate garden rooms including a rose garden, Pompeian garden and several ponds. The enormous great lawn is bordered by seasonal bedding and a croquet lawn.
Laskett Gardens is one of the largest private formal gardens to be created in England since 1945. Over almost four decades the historian, Sir Roy Strong, and his late wife, the designer, Dr Julia Trevelyan Oman, transformed a four acre field into a series of stunning garden rooms, vistas, ascents and descents.
HRH The Prince of Wales has spent over 30 years transforming the grounds of Highgrove into some of the most outstanding and innovative gardens in the United Kingdom. There are a number of different interlinked areas in the gardens and it is also home to part of the national collection of beech trees and large-leaved hostas, which the Prince maintains on behalf of Plant Heritage. Our Guided Tour lasts approximately two hours and is a walk of about two miles.
Kew offers a wonderful day out for all. The gardens and botanical glasshouses are home to over 30,000 species of plants. Highlights of the gardens include the Tree-top Walkway, The 17th century Queen's Garden, the Palm House and the Bamboo Garden, dominated by its authentic Japanese farm dwelling, dating from the early 1900's. Explore beautiful Kew Palace and uncover its intriguing stories!
Lamport Hall, the former home of the Isham family for 400 years, has a fascinating and chequered history of changing uses over generations and is now restored and full of a wealth of paintings, furniture and books mainly dating from the 17th century. Experience a Tour of the Hall, followed by time to enjoy the 10 acre gardens plus a museum of rural life.
The skies above Wiltshire are set to be filled with dozens of spectacular hot air balloons as Longleat stages its annual Sky Safari extravaganza. Following on from the popularity of last year's event, organisers are hoping this year's will be the largest annual event of its kind in the UK with over 100 balloons scheduled to take part. Hot air balloons of all shapes and sizes, including Longleat's very own 'flying lion' will be making a series of mass ascents into the sky above the estate.
Malvern's annual pageant of food, fruit, forestry and flowers gives a flavour of the countryside at its autumnal best. Enjoy the rich coloured blooms of the Gardening Show. Marvel at giant vegetable exhibits and relish the taste of homemade food and wine.
