The Courts Garden Melksham hotels places to stay near to from Great British Gardens

The Couts - This is a great garden: the best in Wiltshire. Originally created between 1900 and 1921 on a Hidcote model, it is now freshened and superbly planted and maintained. It is a manageable seven acres of topiary, hedges, pools and plants in satisfying harmony. Divided into sections which are not rigidly defined, but tend to flow from one to another, it offers good surprises as you turn the corners. The wonderfully lopsided, bulging yew topiary, eccentric box shapes, formal pool and spacious lawns set off the flowers perfectly. Wilder at the edges. Don’t miss. Written by Anne Wareham, garden writer and critic whose own garden Veddw House appears on the guide. Editor's choice garden.		hotels and places to stay near to The Courts, about 4 miles from Melksham with guest reviews Search now - click here
