Britain's What's On Event Guide
Dauntsey Gardens - Open Garden for NGS
This group of 7 gardens, centred around the historic Dauntsey Park Estate, ranges from the Classical C18 country house setting of Dauntsey Park, with spacious lawns, old trees and views over the River Avon, to mature country house gardens and traditional walled gardens. Enjoy the formal rose garden in pink and white, old fashioned borders and duck ponds at Idover House, and the quiet seclusion of The Coach House with its thyme terrace and gazebos, climbing roses and clematis. Here, mop-headed pruned Crataegus prunifolia line the drive. The Garden Cottage has a traditional walled kitchen garden with organic vegetables, orchard, woodland walk and yew topiary.
