Athelhampton
The gardens were created in harmony with the house and are divided into different areas.
Look out for the Great Court dominated by giant yew pyramids, the Corona and the Private Garden with its central canal.
Later additions include the White and Rose Garden, the octagonal Cloister Garden and the Lime Walk.
The gardens are sometimes closed on a Saturday.
