The Woodland Gardens, located two miles from the House & Gardens is a separate attraction that we highly recommend combining with your visit. Open for just six weeks, from mid-April to early June, according to the flowering season, this is a spectacular attraction offering breath-taking vistas of colour and beauty. There are over two miles of paths, covering seventy acres of bluebells, azaleas, magnolias and
rhododendrons.

After spending an enjoyable day at Bowood, why not consider staying overnight at Bowood Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort.

The perfect place to get away from it all, itfeatures contemporary dining in the Shelburne Restaurant, an award-winning spa, and an 18-hole PGA championship golf course.
