The Diamond Way: Cotswold Estates and Gardens 60th Anniversary
Garden
Show Gardens
The garden reflects a walk around the Cotswolds, but rather than a landscape in miniature, it is an ornamental garden that takes inspiration from many of the quintessential aspects of the area.
A covered seating area is designed around a church lychgate, and the water feature represents a stone-sided watercourse with a ford crossing, beside which is a bench, designed to look like a stone footbridge.
One end of the garden is planted with semi-mature beech trees and underplanted with woodland plants, mimicking the ancient beech woodlands found in the area. From the covered seating, a diamond-shaped water feature frames the garden, while spilling water out onto a waterwheel.
