Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end! Our final stop on the autumn garden tour was Hidcote’s beautiful neighbour, Kiftsgate Court. It’s only a five minute walk away, so we ambled down the hill and had a leisurely afternoon drinking in the great beauty of this wonderful garden. If you ever visit Hidcote it is truly worth dropping by here on the way home!

| Thoroughly enjoyed this Geranium frothing over the clipped Box edging |
 |
| White Sunk Garden |
 |
| Looking back the other way, with some Gaura still working hard |

| Anemone hupehensis var. japonica 'Pamina' |
 |
| The Water Garden is far too modern for my tastes, but you can’t help but admire the beautiful design. This view offered through a gap cut in the yew hedge is a masterstroke, giving you a jolt with a stark glimpse of the modern world before you turn back to the old cosy romance of a Cotswold country garden |

| View down to the Lower Garden and beyond looking on the Vale of Evesham toward Wales |

| Cotswold stone glory! |
