Avebury Manor and Garden, nr Marlborough, Wiltshire

16th century manor house with lovely Edwardian garden.

The garden was completely redesigned in the early 20th century by Colonel and Mrs Jenner. The topiary and other formal gardens are contained within the walls and ancient clipped box, creating numerous 'rooms'. Some features may be survivals of the original priory precinct.

The manor house is occupied and furnished by private leaseholders, who open a part of it to visitors. Owing to resticted space, guided tours operate and ticket numbers are limited. Tours run every 40 minutes from 2, last tour 4.40pm.
