A private tour and garden visit to Chenies Manor and Garden
Tuesday 30th April, 2024
Our private visit to Chenies Manor and Garden begins with a guided tour of this Tudor house which the architectural historian, Nikolaus Pevsner, described as “Beautifully mellow under the trees by the church, and archaeologically a fascinating puzzle”. The gardens are divided into a series of compartments - the sunken garden and white garden, the south border, the rose gardens, the inner court, the physic garden, the parterre with its yew maze and a penitential maze. However, at the time of our visit it is the tulip (thousands of them!) which reigns supreme. On arrival, refreshments are included. After the tour, you are welcome to explore the gardens on your own, leaving when you wish though, should you depart, re-entry is not possible without purchasing a new ticket, because the gardens open to the public from 2.00pm. A tearoom opens from 2.00pm with an array of cakes, though no sandwiches. Picnicking in the is garden not permitted, but in your car is.
