Iford Manor, near Bradford on Avon

Iford Manor is a Tudor house with a classical facade. The property, set in the peaceful Frome Valley, was once a centre of the flourishing Wiltshire woollen industry.

In 1898 the architect Harold Peto made Iford Manor his home and created the unique garden seen today. Taking his inspiration from Italy, he terraced the slopes and built steps to link the different levels. There are fountains, pools, classical statues, figures, urns and colonnades and cypresses. Roses, wisteria and climbers soften the strong lines of the architectural features.

Open: April and October Sundays and bank holiday afternoons, May-September Tuesday-Thursday and weekends.
