About

Quick facts: A landscaped garden covering 45 hectares with an 18th-century English design. It features a 45-meter-long Palladian bridge offering panoramic views of the Avon valley.

Highlights: A Palladian bridge unique in the United Kingdom, with six arches that seem to float over the valley. The ruins of a medieval chapel provide a historical contrast in the middle of nature.

Insider tips

Wear comfortable footwear for walking along uneven trails and through woods.
The best spot for photos is the Palladian bridge at dusk when the light is soft.
Avoid weekends if you want a calmer experience.
Don't miss the chapel ruins; although they are a bit off the beaten path, they are worth it.
