The timeless walled Garden at Miserden was designed in the 17th century and still retains a wonderful sense of peace and tranquillity. The magnificent mixed borders are amongst the longest in private ownership and contain a wide range of roses, clematis, shrubs and herbaceous plants, that provide colour from spring to autumn.

There is an impressive topiary yew walk inspired by the architect Sir Edwin Lutyens who designed a wing of Miserden Park. The Park was originally built in 1620 and although the house is not open to the public, it provides a wonderful backdrop to the Garden especially when covered in wisteria in the spring.

Other magical features of this garden which has spanned generations include a unique sycamore tree that has grown through a Cotswold stone wall, quaint grass steps, an ancient mulberry tree believed to have been planted in 1620, a beautifully tranquil parterre and a rill with fountain and stone summerhouse. There are stunning views across the wooded valley beyond and an enchanting arboretum.

The original vintage glasshouses and the old kitchen garden provide a lovely setting to relax after exploring the Garden and the wider grounds of the Estate. Here you can enjoy a light lunch or coffee and cake from our Café Trailer in the shade of our stretch tents.
