Herefordshire is the ideal destination for garden lovers. A county of wooded hills, gentle river valleys, historic market towns and picturesque villages, Herefordshire has a favourable climate, rich, fertile soil and an unspoiled landscape. A perfect place, in fact, to make a garden!
There are gardens here to appeal to all tastes. Hergest Croft, established over 100 years ago, has 50 acres of magnificent trees, shrubs, azaleas and rhododendrons. Equally impressive is Hampton Court , newly-established on the grand scale, with walled gardens, a canal maze and water pavilions. On a more intimate note, visit the delightful garden at Stockton Bury with many unusual plants amongst medieval buildings, or the exciting new garden at Bryan 's Ground, with colour-themed borders, formal pools and follies in an Edwardian Setting. These are just some of the beautiful and varied gardens waiting to welcome the visitor.
