| 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. |
