Dorset Garden Tours are based in the charming hilltop town of Shaftesbury. We meet you each morning and set out across the glorious English countryside to visit the gardens on your itinerary. We will visit landmark gardens and smaller intimate locations and seeking out private gardens that open occasionally wherever we can. There are various options for a Cotswold Garden Tour base, depending on your requirements. The favourite locations are Broadway and Moreton-in-Marsh.
