Trade Product Information and Experiences:

Explore on your own at your Leisure

Enjoy a beautiful day visiting Lord and Lady Lansdowne’s family home, surrounded by acres of ‘Capability’ Brown landscape and stunning gardens. Bowood House, home to the Lansdowne family since 1754, has a fascinating history. The Big House, as it was known, was demolished in 1955, leaving the most perfectly balanced Georgian structure, full of fascinating family memorabilia, including the room in which Dr. Joseph Priestley discovered oxygen gas on 1st August, 1774.

Private Walled Garden Tours

Book an exclusive tour of Lord and Lady Lansdowne’s Private Walled Gardens. A truly special experience as our guides tailor each tour to suit the season and the flowers in bloom, from the trailing wisteria to a wall of climbing roses. Featuring four distinctly different one-acre squares.

During October our dahlia’s, rudbeckia’s and hydrangeas are in colour and the Autumn colours in the Arboretum and around the grounds are truly stunning.

Includes admission to the House & Gardens, tea/coffee on arrival and a 90-minute tour of the Walled Gardens. (Minimum group size 15+)

Capability Brown Parkland Tour
Bowood Park is unique, the evolution of its creation is a story in itself. The garden guides will transport you back 250 years to explain Brown’s extraordinary achievement. The park is considered to be one of ‘Capability’ Brown’s finest creations. With a mix of wooded plantations and sweeping lawns leading down to a mile long winding lake, the Bowood landscape has an exceptionally interesting history, which will be revealed in this tour. The grounds include over 700 species of trees, including 23 Champion Trees

Come visit us during Autumn you can expect to see the most breathtaking autumnal colours as you explore the grounds that come alive at this time of year. Awash with crisp oranges and deep red hues, it’s worth wrapping up warm and enjoying the beauty of our Arboretum.

Includes admissions to the House & Gardens following your tour, tea/coffee on arrival and a 90-minute tour. (Minimum group size 15+)

Woodland Gardens

The Woodland Gardens are an oasis of bluebells, azaleas, magnolias and rhododendrons. They open from mid April to early June and are located 2 miles from Bowood House, between Derry Hill and Sandy Lane. This separate attraction is highly recommended in combination with a visit to the House & Gardens.
