This charming seven acre garden was planted in the 1950s to compliment the stylish Georgian house until a period of neglect led to the gardens decline. From 2013, an army of volunteers, aptly named Burford House Garden Angels, have been working hard to restore the 4 acre gardens. The fluid design of the gardens are enhanced by interesting shrubs and trees, imaginatively used and comprehensively labelled. There are fabulous roses and naturalised herbaceous displays and pleasing areas of water gardens for moisture loving plants. But Burford means Clematis - over 350 varieties - cleverly trained, grown and displayed among shrubs - In summer there may be as many as 50 varieties in flower at one time.
