Abbey House Gardens, Malmesbury and places to stay nearby

Abbey House was once part of the Benedictine Monastery founded about 666 AD. The site was cultivated by monks for medicinal herbs and also as the Abbots garden.
Since the dissolution by Henry V111 in 1539 it has been privately owned and over the past ten years has been developed to become a delight to gardening lovers.
There are 2000 roses and 2000 herbs which give a great display in the summer. In the spring the borders are a mass of colours with thousands of tulips and daffodils.
Paths lead you down to the river including St Aldhelm's Pool where you might be lucky to see Kingfishers and Yellow Wagtails.
Make sure you see the Abbey close by.
An unforgettable afternoon.
