Experience 50 acres of quintessential Somerset gardens, near Taunton. Spanning three centuries of garden design, Hestercombe Gardens
offer a unique combination and varied experience of the
Georgian Landscape Garden, the Victorian Shrubbery
and the Edwardian Formal Gardens.
Setting off along the gravel walk on the southern edge of Rook Wood you’ll discover a breathtaking view from the magnificent Daisy Steps which were designed
by Sir Edwin Lutyens to create a link between his Formal Garden
and the earlier Landscape Garden.
The Victorian Shrubbery is a small enclosed garden incorporating a nineteenth-century
yew tunnel with views to the Victorian water tower.
The spectacular Great Cascade is the dramatic centrepiece of the Landscape Garden and its theatrical effect was inspired by Bampfylde’s visit to William Shenstone’s garden,
The Leasowes, in 1762. Opposite is another viewing point – the Rustic Seat
allowing the visitor to stop and contemplate this sublime scene.
We'll arrive back in Bristol at around 7.30pm
