The tour starts with a visit to Holker <\/strong>Hall <\/strong>and its 24-acre garden comprising yew hedging, rose garden and woodland with conifers from around the world. We travel on to The <\/strong>Lakeside <\/strong>Hotel <\/strong>on the southern shore of lake Windermere, our base for three nights.<\/p>\n\n

We\u2019ll also visit Levens <\/strong>Hall, <\/strong>which has the most famous topiary garden in England, installed between 1689-1712 by the Frenchman Guillaume Beaumont, gardener to King James II. There will be lots to see in the garden at Yewbarrow <\/strong>House <\/strong>overlooking Morecambe Bay, which has a walled kitchen garden, an Italian garden, gravel garden and sculpture garden, and we will also take a look at Dan Pearson\u2019s recent project at Lowther <\/strong>Castle, <\/strong>where his design has reinterpreted the historic gardens. We visit the fell-side garden at Chapelside, <\/strong>on the lower slopes of Raven Crag, as well as Abi <\/strong>& <\/strong>Tom\u2019s <\/strong>Garden <\/strong>Plants <\/strong>on a stunning site adjacent to Halecat House on the Witherslack Estate. The tour concludes with Gresgarth <\/strong>Hall <\/strong>Gardens <\/strong>where designer Arabella Lennox-Boyd has created an exciting garden, beautifully marrying the best of her native Italian style with British plantsmanship.<\/p>\n\n
