Westwell Manor Gardens

Once acclaimed as being the most beautiful gardens in England, the late Anthea Gibson created them in 1978 with her then Head Gardener and the moral support of her fine art dealer husband, Thomas.

Since Anthea’s passing, her husband has worked tirelessly to ensure the gardens are kept up to her standards.

7 acres of fine herbaceous borders, topiary, and water features surround a glorious, 16th Century Manor house. Stand-out features include the moonlight garden, potager, rose garden, orchard, and water gardens.

The impressive gardens have been featured in Country Life magazine and numerous books. Cotswold Garden Tours has the pleasure of welcoming you into the private gardens of Thomas Gibson. A very special trip awaits.
