Elder Court is a contemporary garden in Snowshill village that offers a refreshing contrast to the historic estates scattered throughout the Cotswolds.
What sets it apart is how deliberately it's been designed and developed, transformed from an ordinary plot into something with real thought behind it.
The space is divided into separate garden rooms, each with its own distinct feel, connected by well-planned pathways and mature hedging. The designers have focused on texture and form, selecting plants that remain interesting across all seasons rather than just looking their best in summer. As you move through the garden, you'll spot intelligent plant pairings and notice how walls and built structures create a strong sense of intimacy and enclosure.
It's the kind of place that encourages you to slow down and take in the details. Many visitors leave with fresh ideas for their own gardens. While it lacks the centuries of history that define many Cotswold attractions, its more recent development means it brings a modern sensibility to garden design within a traditional landscape setting.
Once you've finished exploring the garden, the village of Snowshill itself is worth a wander. Snowshill Manor is just nearby if you want to extend your visit, and Broadway and Chipping Campden are only a short drive away, both offering good options for lunch or afternoon tea.
