Bowood

Bowood
Wednesday 8th May

We will first visit the Woodland Gardens for the annual display of azaleas, rhododendrons, magnolias and bluebells. Then a quick coach ride round to the main part of the estate with time for coffee and a wander round the arboretum. After lunch, there will be guided tours of Lord and Lady Lansdowne’s Private Walled Garden where we hope to see the Wisteria in bloom.  Beyond the formal gardens lie the Capability Brown landscaped gardens with lake and grotto. There will also be the opportunity to visit the house.
