North Oxfordshire Gardens

Flashes of colour in between landscapes of green are what you’ll find inside gardens in North Oxfordshire. Just a drive away from the main towns, take a detour and you’ll find them – walled, formal, water, rose and country gardens, terraces and enclosures – all unique and appealing in their own ways.

Begin by exploring the manor houses and gardens in North Oxfordshire, such as the magnificent Upton House, a National Trust property and 20th century country mansion which is stunningly ornate with the surroundings providing beautiful scenes ideal to relax and escape from it all in. Then leave behind the hustle and bustle for one of the best landscape gardens in the UK as well as Europe, Stowe Landscape Gardens. There are lots more acres of borders, shrubs, exotic plants and whatever else you may fancy in Brook Cottage Gardens and the National Herb Centre. Rousham House, meanwhile, is home to a beautiful William Kent designed landscape, Sulgrave House and Gardens date back to Shakespearean times and the formal gardens of Blenheim Palace are simply magnificent with their wonderfully sweeping lawns.
