Steeple Aston Gardens

Steeple Aston, often considered the most easterly of the Cotswold villages, is a beautiful stone-built village with gardens that provide a wide range of interest. A stream meanders down the hill as the landscape changes from sand to clay. The open gardens inc small floriferous cottage gardens, large landscaped gardens, natural woodland areas, ponds and bog gardens, themed borders and allotments. The gardens provide something for everyone from a courtyard garden to a former walled kitchen garden and so much in between.
