A beautiful 2.5 acre Cotswold watermill garden, designed and planted by the owner. Steep, lawned terraces wind down to the mill, pool, stream and grotto. A rose walk, edged with lavender, is lovely in late June, while the cricket lawn with views over the Cotswolds leads up to the fruit garden and potager. The garden has many seats to enjoy the tranquillity and vistas. 'Good Garden Guide' recommended. Dangerous for young children.
Surrounding an ancient watermill, and hugging the side os a steep, tiny valley Mill Dene Garden really is hidden in the Cotswolds and is a place of tranquility and rest; there are, after all, 10 seats!
The feel of the garden is light-hearted with the use of mirrors, trompe l'oeil, and concealment apparently altering the boundaries and size of the garden.
The garden is on a difficult site 500' up on the hills, with underlying Blue Lias clay or Cotswold brash, a frost pocket and shade. However, the owner, Wendy Dare, with the help from Rupert Golby, has designed a beautiful garden responding to a strong sense of place.
The Garden Room offers facilities for lunches and teas, and plant sales – now specialising in herbs.
