How Caple Court Gardens, set high above the River Wye, are located on an ancient site.
A house built here was mentioned in the Doomsday Book but the present gardens date from Edwardian times.
The 11 acres of gardens include formal terraces, yew hedges, roses and water features. These contrast with the splendid trees and shrubs in The Dell and other less formal areas of the garden.
The magnificent terrace has eight clipped yews leaning together around a lily pond. Below this is another terrace with a charming summer house and more lily ponds.
Other features include statues and the sunken Florentine garden.
How Caple Court has a nursery selling old-fashioned roses and specialised herbaceous plants and there is also a dried flower factory outlet.
