Kiftsgate Court Gardens is a terraced hillside garden in the Cotswolds, run by the same family for three generations. Its upper gardens are planted in set colour schemes, while the sheltered lower gardens have a warmer, more exotic feel, and a modern water garden offers a quieter spot. The highlight is the vigorous old climbing rose that gives the garden its name. Children are welcome and can explore the paths, though the level changes and water features mean an adult should keep an eye on them. There is a tearoom, a plant sales area and a small gift shop, so a visit can be built around a slow walk and a cup of tea. It suits garden lovers, older children interested in plants, and families wanting a calm outdoor morning or afternoon rather than rides or play equipment.
Garden is open seasonally; 2027 opening days are published on the venue's opening-times page.
