Broughton Grange and Coton Manor

The stunning Broughton Grange in North Oxfordshire is now recognised as one of the most significant private contemporary gardens in Britain. Tom Stuart-Smith has transformed a six acre field into three themed terraces.  Other areas include wild flower meadows, parterres, long borders, stumpery and a large new arboretum.  There is a small café for drinks and cakes.  We have arranged for a tour of this fascinating garden for an optional extra of £10. (About 1.5 hours)See form below.

We plan to leave Broughton Grange at 1.00 pm and will not arrive at Coton Manor until 2.00pm.  Neither garden will allow picnics.  WE SUGGEST YOU MAY WISH TO TAKE A SNACK TO EAT ON THE COACH.

Coton Manor Garden in Northamptonshire is well known for its exceptional charm and unexpected vistas at every turn.  Something for everyone with extensive borders, terraces, containers, water gardens and even a lake with pink flamingos! Said to be a truly beautiful garden for both the plant enthusiast and amateur.  Stableyard café for light refreshments but it will not be able to serve a coachload upon arrival. Large plant nursery.
