About Bichfield Tower

The garden is surrounded by pasture and arable fields and is accessed by a private road. The main house, a 15th century Pele Tower, has 3 stone cottages and a gingang adjacent to it, each with their own gardens for visitors to look at. The gardens have been redeveloped by the current owners, who have carried out considerable changes to the landscape of the garden.

Featuring this year, two stunning shrub rose beds showcasing wrought iron flower covered windows providing spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
