GLORIOUS GARDENS OF ENGLAND, WALES AND SCOTLAND


Lyburnum ArchIf you have always promised yourself that "someday" you would find the right way to explore the beautiful countryside, historic towns and picturesque villages of England, that day has come. The essence of Britain is to be found in its historic towns and tiny villages, nestled among some of the loveliest countryside in the world.


Few British institutions - the football match, the back garden, and a "nice cup of tea" are as important as the garden. On our English garden tours, you will see gardens made famous on television, grand gardens that have developed over the centuries, and even small, private gardens, very much the domain of their owners. Most days you will enjoy at least two gardens with an expert.

Treat your senses to the truly fantastic array of sights and smells around Great Britain's gardens, from grand designs attached to stately homes to the secret delights and private passions of many individuals' more modest homes. Full days out, escorted by expert plantsmen or women, take in a mix of these. You don't need to know a lot, because the tours are relaxed, very sociable affairs that you can enjoy at any level. Cornwall is our most popular destination, with opportunities to see the amazing Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Bosvigo and many other sub tropical gardens.

Further north, the Duchess of Northumberland has something very interesting going on with the Alnwick Garden. You may also want to take in some major flower shows at Tatton Park or Hampton Court. You'll need to be fit enough to spend all day on your feet visiting sometimes large gardens, but there's plenty of time to recover and socialize in the evenings back at superb get away from it all Country Houses in glorious countryside!

Why not let Lynott put together an inspiring vacation for you?

GUARANTEED SMALL TOUR - THIS TOUR IS LIMITED TO 20 PERSONS DATES May 21 – 28, 2011 Book now for 2011 - dates Chelsea Flower Show & English Gardens Tour:
 first flat-flowering bi-colour streptocarpus,Chelsea Flower Show has been the world's leading horticultural event since the first show in 1913 when gardeners from the large private estates created brilliant displays. Today, you will be able to marvel at an international collection of magnificent blooms and perfect specimen trees alongside an astonishing range of exhibition gardens. The Grand Marquee contains over 3 acres of plants and flowers of every description, smaller tents are devoted to floral art and garden design, while the full scale gardens are outside. Whether you go for inspiration, or gardening advice, the Chelsea Flower Show is an unforgettable experience.

In addition to the Flower Show, our tour visits the magnificently manicured garden of Sissinghurst. Created by Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson and later enhanced under National Trust ownership, it has come to represent the pinnacle of gardening excellence. We also enjoy the gardens of Scotney Castle, which surround a 14th century moated medieval castle.

Meet us at the Philadelphia Flower Show 2011. We can be found at the Ireland stand.

Flower stamps Day 1. Arrival. Meet at Gatwick Airport at 10AM, for a group transfer, or make your own way to the Hotel. , nestling in the heart of the Kent countryside at the foot of the North Downs. Time to relax and meet your fellow travelers at dinner. (D)

Day 2 Visit Great Dixter House and Garden - The Manor of Dixter is first noted in 1220 and structural additions were made again in 1464. In 1910 the English architect Edwin Lutyens restored the house and designed the gardens. Completing the whole picture was an important aspect of Lutyen's designs, and once the residential part of the scheme had taken shape he concentrated on the layout of the gardens, cleverly incorporating the original outbuildings to knit all the elements together. This is a cottage garden on a large scale. An internal tour of Great Dixter takes in the impressive 15th century great hall, one of the largest surviving timber-framed halls in the country, the cosy low-ceilinged parlour, and the spacious first floor solar. There is a surprising and refreshing mix of decorative styles, illustrating that both old and modern can live comfortably together without creating a gaudy mish mash. (B)

Day 3. Wisley Garden R.H.S. Glasshouse at Wisley- Today, we visit the showplace of the Royal Horticultural Society at Wisley. The RHS Bicentenary Glasshouse, a huge cathedral-like glass structure covers an area equal in size to 10 tennis courts and rise to 12m (40ft) in height. It will have three climatic zones, recreating tropical, moist-temperate and dry-temperate habitats.Wisley Garden offers wooded slopes with masses of rhododendrons and azaleas, wild daffodils and an alpine meadow - British gardening at its best in all aspects. This is the 'Mecca' to many gardeners. The garden delights and inspires in any season of the year. It is full of ideas and information. There is always part of the garden at its best. The shop offers as large a collection of books on gardening as anywhere in the world. Here is a wonderful chance to buy gifts to take home. (B)


Day 4. - You begin at Leeds CastleLeeds Castle, built in the center of a lake described by Lord Conway as the "loveliest in the world". Surrounded by landscaped gardens, it became known as "Lady's Castle", because of the number of Queens of England who occupied it. At Sissinghurst you see the most beautiful garden in England, created by Vita Sackville-West and her husband, Harold Nicholson. Next is the aromatic garden around a slender brick-built castle tower - Sissinghurst is surely the best known and most copied garden in the world. (B)


Day 5. Nymans Garden We visit Nyman's Gardens, with its 30 acres of plants from all over the world. Nyman's has an extensive collection of rare trees, shrubs and plants. A 'theatrical' garden design full of variety, surprises and delight, Nymans is one of the great gardens of the Sussex Weald, internationally known for its beauty, atmosphere and collection of rare and important plants. There are wonderful views over the Sussex countryside towards the South Downs. Dinner at your hotel. (B,D)

Scotney GardensDay 6. - Visit the Scotney Castle Garden and Estate. The moated 14th century medieval castle and landscape of Scotney together make this one of England's most romantic places. The view from the Bastion, just below the formal terraces of the "new" Scotney Castle, takes in the glorious colors of Ghent azaleas in late spring. In the autumn, golden tulip trees and crimson liquid ambers take center stage against a back cloth of parkland and woodland which are part of the 770 acre Scotney Estate. Brilliant displays of azaleas, rhododendron and calico bush (Kalmia latifolia), wonderful walks through 770 acre estate. Travel to London (B)

Day 7. - THE CHELSEA FLOWER SHOWYou have a full day to explore the show. Getting there early will give you time to see the show and perhaps to leave in mid-afternoon to do some final last minute shopping at nearby Harrods. (CB)
