 Description of Garden
Designer: Stephanie Richards
Created over the past twenty years or more, the garden at Eastleach has been transformed by Stephanie Richards from a neglected wilderness into a traditional English country garden. Standing at the top of the hill, the house overlooks a long avenue of lime trees southwards to the distant hills and westwards over the valley of the River Leach.

Designed to follow the natural contours of the land, the garden presents different and contrasting aspects, from the smooth lawns, to the avenue, parkland and arboretum. The main border, situated below a flight of stone steps, is visible from the house so is intended to display shrubs of interest throughout the year, coloured all shades of green and gold with silver and grey highlights.

On the west side of the house, the rill garden features three large borders in rainbow colours designed to catch the eye from spring to autumn. It has a pattern of curved paths meeting at a clapper bridge spanning the water.

The woodland pond, half hidden beneath a high wall, provides a wild contrast to the calm and formality of the walled garden with its yew hedges, roses and nepeta, shrubs and perennials. The stone terrace and a formal pond overlook two knot gardens. The terrace is backed by white roses and clematis hang from chains between wooden pillars.

The herb garden lies beyond a yew hedge and features a central bandstand covered with honeysuckle and clematis.
 History of Garden
The house was built in 1900, designed by the architect Walter Cave, though the site is much older. It rests on a wooded hilltop with lawns to the south and west and parkland to the south. There had never been any formal garden. There were also two large rockeries, and an ancient box hedge. There are some good trees and a walled garden for fruit and vegetables.
