Welcome to England’s largest festival of history and culture! It’s your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – all of which are FREE to explore.
This introductory talk and guided tour of the gardens gives visitors a rare opportunity to see Ernest Willmott’s early 20th century design and garden layout, with its steps and terraces, a great deal of which remains intact. We shall also learn of the colour scheme which Gertrude Jekyll planned for the all-year round effect. The aim of the design was to blend into the surrounding countryside.
