Rousham House and Garden
Probably the garden most often cited by garden designers as their favourite, Rousham with its carefully designed vistas, mature trees, rills, sweeping lawns and walled garden, leaves a lasting impression on all who visit. Designed by William Kent in the 18th century, the gardens have largely escaped alteration.
