 Description of Garden
Designer: Gertrude Jekyll
The extensive gardens have matured in their varied and colourful way, under the hands of successive generations of the Berkeley family. The Elizabethan terraces are very impressive, as is the unusually giant-size Magnolia. The Wisteria is not to be missed in June.

The garden is known for its rare and ancient specimens of trees and shrubs. Berkeley offers the visitor majesty and peace in a delightful setting.
 History of Garden
Gertrude Jekyll was the original designer.
