Take a virtual tour of Hidcote, a famed Arts & Crafts Garden located in Gloucestershire
Designed by the American horticulturalist, Major Lawrence Johnston, Hidcote would come to influence countless gardeners both in Britain and around the world. Among its admirers were Graham Stuart Thomas, Vita Sackville-West and Norah Lindsay. Divided into rooms, the garden is designed to delight visitors as they explore the grounds. As James Lees-Milne remarked, “The garden is not only beautiful but remarkable in that it is full of surprises. You are constantly led from one scene to another, into long vistas and little enclosures, which seem infinite.”
