New Gardens Cottage opens its gates to visitors on selected days, usually as part of the National Garden Scheme, offering a glimpse into what the owners have developed over the years.
It's a peaceful spot where you can stroll through mature borders and various planting areas, demonstrating how thoughtful design and careful plant choices can work with the Cotswolds landscape rather than against it.
Great Tew itself deserves more than just a quick visit. The village is constructed from honey-coloured stone and has kept much of its historical character intact, giving it the feel of a genuine Cotswold settlement. Once you've finished at the garden, you could easily spend time wandering the village streets or exploring the wider Great Tew Estate. Chipping Norton, a proper market town with shops and other facilities, sits just a short drive away, and Woodstock—where you'll find Blenheim Palace—is equally accessible. This location works well for a full day out in this corner of Oxfordshire, combining a quiet garden visit with the chance to experience both a traditional village and some of the region's other worthwhile attractions.
