Groups of 15 or more are invited to explore at their leisure with this tour, taking in the fascinating collections and beautifully restored interiors.

An exclusive opportunity for groups of 15 or more, the 90-minute Walled Garden Tour offers a tranquil and immersive exploration of Bowood’s four-acre garden, and also includes admissions into the House & Gardens. Each of the four sections showcases seasonal blooms, from cascading wisteria to walls of climbing roses, creating a picturesque and ever-changing display. Guided tours are led by our expert team, who adapt the experience based on the season, offering insights into the garden’s design and plant varieties.

Woodland Garden Group Visits
The Woodland Garden is one of the most exciting gardens of its type in Wiltshire, with unusual plants some thought to be extinct. Bursting into colour in spring the bluebells, magnolias, azaleas and rhododendrons are enchanting. Located two miles from the house, this secluded garden offers a serene atmosphere perfect for groups. While the Woodland Garden is closed for the 2024 season, groups can plan visits for 2025, with tours available from mid-April to early June. This seasonal attraction can be paired with a visit to the main House & Gardens for a full day of exploration.
