A choice of gardens at Cliveden

Comprising of over six acres, the Parterre is the most dramatic garden display on the estate. Features include 16 triangular beds filled with seasonal bedding and a sweeping semi-circle bed surrounding “The Rape of Proserpina" (c.1565) statue. Get a bird's eye view of the Parterre from the recently restored South Terrace, or walk amongst the beds on ground level.

The Water Garden's oriental character was created for Lord Astor using water, rocks and a Chinese pagoda. On a crisp winter's day, the sculptural shapes of bare trees create icy reflections in the waters.

In the Italianate Long Garden, floral displays mingle with quirky statues and topiary.

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.
