Buscot House and Gardens

A drive to Swindon to view sofas, which was not successful, was made a little better for a lovely drive back through the Cotswolds.  We stopped at Buscot House and Gardens, had a picnic lunch, a saunter round the walled garden, and a tour round the house. We've visited many times, and the plantings in the walled garden and the orchards are maturing.

I love the clock tower above the old stables.

 Great plantings

Long borders with a dramatic backdrop of trees.


We sat and chatted and enjoyed the long views.

    1. This National Trust house and gardens has limited opening as is still lived in. A good time to visit would be a little earlier in the year. There are some elegant walks among trees, well worth several hours...and of course there are many other gardens in the area too.
