Planning day out garden visits or a garden wedding near the Cotswolds? Probably the best garden visit you could ever make awaits you at Abbey House Gardens in ancient Malmesbury, itself an historic place to visit. Gardening ideas, beautiful plants from daffodils, crocus, tulips and iris in spring through the county’s largest private collection of roses, double herbaceous borders that rival Monets, to fabulous autumn colour from specimen trees and shrubs; all to be enjoyed in a special atmosphere you have to visit to believe. Have the Pollards captured the spirit of the place? Come and judge for yourself.
Find Abbey House Gardens, nestled beside old Malmesbury Abbey in this lovely Wiltshire Cotswold location just 5 miles from M4 J17. Park easily in the Long stay car park to stay all day with refreshment available in the Apple Store tea--room or sample Malmesbury’s facilities.
