Cothay Manor

Cothay Manor Garden is set deep in the Somerset countryside by the River Tone and covers around 12 acres. It is now a plantsman's paradise surrounding perhaps the most perfect example of a small classic medieval manor.
It was designed in the 1920s by R Cooper and divided into many garden rooms, each one a surprise with pools, hideaways all surrounded by carefully manicured yew hedging.
Many of the plants have been added by the present owners who have a real enthusiasm for the garden and are pleased to answer your questions.
Behind the formal gardens are trails besides the River Tone with stepping stones and bog loving plants.
To the side is a wonderful wild flower meadow.
