‘A miniature world, dotted with follies as absurdly pretty as illustrations in a fairy tale.’ The Guardian

Adjacent to the aerodrome that houses the Collection, the Swiss Garden is an outstanding example of the Regency fashion for creating landscapes in a picturesque alpine style.

It is a peaceful, tranquil space, and one which has new vistas revealed at every turn. Within the garden are 13 listed structures, an adjacent woodland sculpture trail and three resident peacocks. It’s a delight to explore and recent restoration work in 2014 has ensured it has accessibility http://www.shuttleworth.org/accessibility/ for all visitors.

Resident in the garden are two delightful peacocks, and ducklings can be seen swimming on the ponds in Spring. During school holidays workshops and activity trails for children are available, and events such as outdoor theatre and music take place every year and can be booked online.
