Hidcote Manor Gardens

This is one garden it is imperative everyone should visit and its only an hours trundle through the Cotswolds. The hydrangeas are exquisite at the moment. Here are a few bits of the garden I was able to enjoy. There is lots more to this garden and I shall enjoy going back to spend  time there. It deserves to be admired  in spring, summer, autumn and winter.I was in awe of the hydrangeas. Mid October I imagine it will look completely different as the colours bleed  into autumn.
