PASHLEY MANOR, EAST SUSSEX

With all the elements that make up a beautiful English country garden, the 11-acre gardens at Pashley Manor are a treat to visit at any time of year, with sweeping herbaceous borders, espaliered rose walk, walled garden, kitchen garden and fine trees. In spring the tulip display is one of the finest in the country. The garden is situated on the border of Sussex and Kent so you could make a day of it and visit nearby Sissinghurst and Great Dixter, too. pashleymanorgardens.com
