Pashley Manor

This garden is one of my favourites, we've been here twice before, I think, and it's just beautiful. The house is not the original which was built in 1262 by the de Passele family, who later sold it to the Boleyn family. It is possible that Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII, might have stayed here as a child. The house that stands here today is a Tudor house built in 1543 with a Georgian façade being added in 1720.

Similar to Great Dixter but different

It is a family home to this day and is not open to the public, but the gardens are, thankfully.

As well as laid out borders and formal gardens, this award winning garden has a wealth of sculpture, most of it for sale.

Petit Milou fell in love

It has the most amazing kitchen garden which supplies the household and the café (can't have a garden without a café, you know that by now). We had a long chat with the head gardener, it' a wonder he gets any work done at all!
