About Spetchley Park Gardens

The gardens at Spetchley are amongst the finest in the country. Set in lovely countryside 2 miles east of Worcester on the A44 they extend over 30 acres and include many rare trees, shrubs and plants of interest both to the professional and amateur gardener. Spetchley has belonged to the Berkeley family since 1605, but the greatest extension to the garden took place at the turn of this century when Rose Berkeley, assisted by her sister, the great Edwardian gardener Miss Ellen Willmott of Warley Place in Essex, enlarged and enhanced the garden.

Surrounded by ancient parkland and lakes, this historic garden is set in the wonderful Worcestershire countryside with far reaching views to the Malvern Hills.
