Iford Manor Gardens

About

Please note that the gardens are now CLOSED for general visiting until 2nd April 2025.
Guests staying in Rowley Cottage will still have access to the gardens from dawn until 4pm each day of their stay.
Head Gardener Behind the Scenes tours will continue in the winter months (must be pre-booked)

Our peaceful, Grade 1 registered garden is unlike any other with its romantic design and architecture, combining formality with nature and magnificent rural views across an unspoilt valley, whilst beautifully framed architectural gems and antiquities punctuate your visit throughout. Set on the last hill of the Cotswolds, within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we hope that all who visit leave here feeling relaxed and inspired.

Having taken over the garden in 2018, William and Marianne Cartwright-Hignett embarked on a 10 year plan to renew the garden. We are now partway through this transformation, working closely with talented Head Gardener Steve Lannin and his exceptional team. Working alongside nature, and with an eye for detail, the garden is responding to their loving care. Do follow @stevelannin on Instagram to see the garden through his eyes.
