A Cotswold Garden Companion
An illustrated map and guide
Between Chipping Campden in the north and Bradford on Avon in the south lie the Cotswolds – almost 800 square miles of sheep-speckled hills, golden stone villages and beautiful gardens galore.
This indispensable companion offers the ideal introduction, taking in everything from Jacobean gems and classics of the English landscape movement to some of the finest contemporary gardens around today. You’ll meet royal gardeners, car-park gardeners, plant hunters and inveterate collectors, as well as discovering all manner of horticultural highlights, from national collections of walnuts, foxgloves and flowering cherries, to the strawberry beds that inspired William Morris’s fabric designs – not to mention a sprinkling of garden shops and plant nurseries just too good to miss.
So whether you’re looking for jaw-dropping views, yews, or simply inspiration for a leisurely day out, let our guide lead the way.
A Cotswold Garden Companion is a beautifully illustrated map which folds down to a handy pocket-sized guide listing over 55 of the best gardens in the Cotswolds. Presented in an attractive slip case and divided by area, it is clear and easy to use and appealing to art lovers and garden lovers alike.
Free postage on first copy (within the UK).
