Gardens in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire

Summer gardens in Bucks, Berks and Oxfordshire are dreamy places to wander. Heady with the scent of roses, buzzing with pollinators and bright with flowers of every colour. Head to Cliveden, Hughenden and Waddesdon for their formal parterres where multiple flowers create dramatic blocks and patterns of colour in summer. At Greys Court there's drama and formality in the courtyard display, gorgeous flower tunnels to wander through and lush, vibrant borders. A walk at Stowe Gardens will lift the spirits with shady paths, designed views and cooling lakes. Whilst not known as a flower garden, you'll find flowers aplenty in Sleeping Wood.
