An amazing 5 acre garden in Malmesbury's beautiful and historic town centre. Its creation is the first of many surprises. Growing here there are over 2000 different roses - the largest private collection in the country - 2000 herbs and 2000 other plant species, all laid out personally by a tenacious and visionary owner and his gardener with sympathy to the site's rich history. Against the stunning backdrop of Malmesbury Abbey, set around a sixteenth century house, discover formal gardens, a 'Celtic cross' knot garden, herbaceous borders, a 'mediaeval' herb garden encircled by fruit cordons, foliage and bog gardens. Wooded walks to river and monastic fish ponds with kingfisher and swans have lovely views along the way.
Our opening times are daily 21st March to 21st October 11.00 - 5.30
