A choice of gardens at Cliveden

The view from the Terrace looking out over the Parterre and across the Thames Valley is one not to be missed. The high-Victorian style planting for this spring has now finished and we are looking forward to a strong display featuring the ever-elegant gladioli this summer.

By late spring the oriental inspired Water Garden will be truly blossoming. You'll find the dusky pinks of flowering cherries and creamy-white magnolias forming picture perfect reflections in the pools.

In the Italianate Long Garden, floral displays mingle with quirky statues and topiary. This spring the four central beds were filled with the spectacle of 21,000 sweet-scented blue hyacinths which finished in early May. Look out for the 'Devil's Delight Mix' of begonias this summer.

Over 900 roses fill this intimate space from late June until September. Drifts of scented blooms gently phase from creamy yellow through vibrant oranges to rich burgundy.

These two abundant herbaceous borders with a hot and cold theme are situated in front of the house, and are a visual delight from late-May to October.

From the grand Fountain of Love on the main drive, to the ancient baboons in the Long Garden the gardens reveal a magnificent collection of sculpture.

Tucked on the northern edge of the woodlands is this unique circular fruit garden. Reclaimed by nature in the 1950s, we're now bringing it back into production.

With two metre high hedges and 500 metres of paths to explore there's an adventure to be had around every corner in our recreation of Lord Astor's historic maze.

From Spring to Autumn the Walled Garden provides produce for the estate to use, from lettuce to plums. There is a walk around the perimeter of the main car park for you to get up close to the fruit and vegetable planting.
