This garden in the village of Aston Magna is a family-run space that's developed its character through genuine care and attention rather than formal design rules.
What makes it worth visiting is how personal it feels—you can sense the decades of thought that have gone into it.
The grounds feature a stream running through the property that feeds into a mill pond, and there's a grotto along with various sculptures dotted about that add playful touches to the planting. You'll find plenty to inspire you whatever the season, with borders and tucked-away corners that work throughout the year. It's the kind of place where you want to move slowly, taking time to notice how plants work together and simply soaking up the atmosphere.
Aston Magna is a small, traditional village, but you're only a short drive from the busier market towns of Moreton-in-Marsh, Blockley, and Chipping Campden, so it fits well into a broader North Cotswolds day out. The garden is privately owned and only opens on selected days or by prior arrangement, so it's worth checking the opening schedule before you plan your visit.
