One of the best summer sights is a beautiful display of flowers in the countryside. From gardens and parklands to natural landscapes like meadows and woodlands, there are lots of lovely places to go in the Cotswolds to see these natural wonders of the summer and of course if you are holidaying in the area, it is definitely something to add to your itinerary!
Hidcote Manor Gardens in the stunning Cotswolds area is a great place to go at any time of the year – if you are staying somewhere like this spa breaks Stroud based hotel https://hatherleymanor.com/the-spa/spa-breaks-cotswolds/stroud/ then you should definitely go and see the delphiniums, roses and other favourite summer flowers in the beautiful gardens as well as lavender – this is a National Trust property, so you can also enjoy refreshments in the tea room and a browse in the gift shop.
Sudeley Castle is a popular place with visitors throughout the year, and if you have kids, it is somewhere that also runs a lot of activities aimed at them over the summer holidays. The gardens too are home to beautiful roses as well as herb gardens and borders that are in full bloom.
Cotswold Lavender is another great day out and as well as being able to wander around the lavender fields there are also traditional wildflower meadows set across four acres which is a home for flowers that are naturally found in the region, providing a home to bees and butterflies.
