Ilmington is an ancient hillside Cotswold village 2m from the Fosse Way with 2 good pubs. Start at Ilmington Manor (next to the Red Lion Pub); wander the 3 acre gardens with many roses, much topiary and a fish pond. Next go up Grump Street, above the Village Hall, to Ravenscrofts large, sculpture-filled garden with sloping vistas commanding the hilltop. Walk to nearby Frog Lane to view Frog Orchard's and The Studio's delightful gardens. Then walk down to the Bevington's many-chambered cottage garden at the bottom of Valanders Lane, and finally to the charming cottage gardens surrounding Meadow View in Back Street overlooking the Manor ponds and Berry Orchard.
