The house & gardens of Bowood lie within one of Britain's most beautiful parks designed by Capability Brown. The gently sloping lawns stretch way from the terraced gardens to the tranquil lake beyond, while other splendours include the Arboretum, Doric Temple, Cascade Waterfall & the Hermit's Cave. The house itself holds many pieces of superb furniture, porcelain and family heirlooms collected over the centuries.We have also included a visit to 'The Rhododendron Walk' a spectacular 60-acre garden located in a separate part of the estate. This woodland garden of azaleas & rhododendron is considered to be one of the most exciting gardens of this type in the country.
