About The Garden at Miserden

Miserden is a family-run, rural estate overlooking the Golden Valley in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the Cotswolds. The estate encompasses 850 acres of woodland, farmland and gardens providing a sanctuary for wildlife and a tranquil escape for visitors.

The Garden at Miserden, winner of the Historic Houses Garden of the Year Award, is a lovely, timeless walled garden with spectacular views over a deer park and rolling Cotswold hills beyond. The garden was designed in the 17th century and still retains a wonderful sense of peace and tranquillity. There are extensive yew hedges, including a notable topiary yew walk designed by the architect Sir Edwin Lutyens who also designed a wing of Miserden Park. The Park was built in 1620 and although the house is not open to the public, it provides a wonderful backdrop to the garden.

The garden is well known for its magnificent mixed borders, amongst the longest in private ownership at 92 metres long they contain a wonderful wide range of roses, clematis, shrubs and herbaceous plants.
Other magical features of this garden which has spanned generations include a unique Sycamore tree that has grown through a Cotswold stone wall, quaint grass steps, an ancient mulberry tree planted in 1620 and a rill with fountain and stone summerhouse built to commemorate the Millennium. The Garden at Miserden is a hidden gem in the very heart of the Cotswolds.
