Great Fosters

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

One of the finest Arts and Crafts gardens in Europe grace the grounds of this Elizabethan house in the heart of Windsor Forest. The house is now a hotel, but the gardens remain for all to enjoy, bordered on three sides by a Saxon moat. The gardens are designed to imitate the effect of a Persian carpet, with intricate formal patterns. At the centre is the Drake Sundial, which dates to 1589 and is owned by the descendants of Sir Francis Drake. There is a turf amphitheate cut into the hillside, and a sunken rose garden to enjoy.
