Iford Manor Gardens

Iford Manor Gardens

Welcome to Iford – home to the Cartwright-Hignett family, with a rich history dating back to the Domesday Book. Since 1965 we have worked as a family to restore, conserve and enhance this stunning place, preserving the valley’s environment, improving biodiversity and allowing others to enjoy its rich cultural heritage. We could not do this without your help and all profits from garden visitors and the cafe & restaurant are reinvested back into maintaining the valley, Grade 1 listed garden, ecology and heritage here at Iford.

Our peaceful, Grade 1 registered garden is unlike any other with its romantic design and architecture, combining formality with nature and magnificent rural views across an unspoilt valley, whilst beautifully framed architectural gems and antiquities punctuate your visit throughout. Set on the last hill of the Cotswolds, within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we hope that all who visit leave here feeling relaxed and inspired.
