Accessibility

Due to the landscape and nature of the Gardens, access is limited with gravel paths, uneven surfaces & steps throughout the gardens, making it unsuitable for wheelchairs & those with limited mobility. Some surfaces may also be slippery when wet. We suggest wearing sturdy shoes or wellington boots and suitable outdoor clothing, especially in wet weather.

 

 

 

Your 1½-hour tour will be led by one of our experienced guides. In addition to revealing the gardens’ history, organic management and sources of inspiration, they will explain the hidden curios and horticultural innovations behind them.

Highgrove is a place of peace and tranquillity, where The King's passion and imagination have been etched onto the Cotswold landscape. From the magnificent Wildflower Meadow to the enchanting setting of the Arboretum, the gardens embody His Majesty's gardening ideals and organic principles.
