  About this garden

 The story 
-----------

 Inspired by the scenic beauty of Cotswold gardens and landscapes, The Cotswold Garden features Cotswold stone walling as the primary framework. This layout presents two distinct areas for dining and relaxation, offering a functional and serene space for family enjoyment. The terrace uses classic materials reminiscent of the Cotswolds, here you will find Yorkstone paving and treads for the steps, and Yorkstone setts for the seating area. A timber pergola, supported by staddle stones, extends over the upper terrace, creating the feel of an outdoor room. A gentle spring flows from a stone domed feature, meandering through the garden and into the tranquil stream that runs through the meadow.
