These historic and unique ‘detached’ gardens were created in 1845 by Mr Edward Wilson when he divided up his land into garden plots to rent to tenants (predominantly shop owners) who had relative and newly acquired wealth. These tenants were provided with gardens that featured high hedges for privacy, lawns and cultivated areas, a summer house and a peaceful environment.

Saved from the destruction of developers with the help of Warwick Council and English Heritage, the gardens went through a significant restoration process with a team of local volunteers in the late 1990s.

The gardens are now beautifully managed and each retains elements of its original character and history. Interesting features include the Snowdrop trail, the collections of Chrysanthemums, sempervirens, apples, and a glasshouse.

Come with Cotswold Garden Tours on this fascinating trip back in time, experience a unique series of garden plots and savour some good, old-fashioned hospitality.
