Description
About Cerney House Gardens
Cerney House Gardens is a romantic, secret place in the Cotswolds, near to Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. They are part of the home of Sir Michael and Lady Angus and their family. Set around a Victorian walled garden, they are described by Country Living as "what most people aspire to in their gardens – and few achieve".
Lady Angus and her daughter Barbara have developed the garden over the years with a lot of help from nature itself. Barbara had little garden experience when they first arrived but luckily Lady Angus had. When they viewed the estate it was the walled garden that they first fell in love with. This was in the summer and they fell in love all over again when the following spring bulbs erupted from all corners.
The first few years were not kind to the garden when valuable gardening hours were given to renovating and altering their respective properties and by the time serious thought was given to the grounds nature at its worst had made her mark. Following the arrival of Barbara’s third son Luke she decided that a career change from her teaching was called for and asked her mother for ideas. The one that had appeal set them on the path of restoring and enlarging the gardens that you now see.
