Join an exclusive guided tour of Bowood’s spectacular Woodland Gardens.
As you are led along the rides by your expert tour guide, each step opens a new vista of breathtaking beauty, from the minute detail of the individual flower to the grand sweep of colours formed by hundreds of shrubs.
You will be surrounded by carpets of bluebells and swathes of magnolias and through the season you can expect a breathtaking display of rhododendrons and azaleas, with over 30 hardy hybrids, some previously thought to be extinct.
The various walks extend to over two miles in length, and most are named after members of the family.
You will also visit the impressive Mausoleum, one of Robert Adam’s finest classical buildings, which was commissioned in 1761 as a memorial to the 1st Earl of Shelburne.
