Gardens in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire

The spring gardens in Bucks, Berks and Oxfordshire are waking up and bursting into blooms of of white, yellow and purple. Head to Cliveden, Hughenden and Waddesdon for their formal parterres where multiple flowers create dramatic blocks and patterns of colour in spring. At Greys Court, there's drama and formality in the courtyard display and gorgeous patches of iris, primrose and snakeshead fritillary scattered around the garden. The magnolia is always a magnificent sight here too. A walk at Stowe Gardens will lift the spirits with snakeshead fritillary meadows along Bellgate Drive and in Sleeping Wood.
