Gardens play a very important role in the lives of British people. Owning a private garden as beautiful as a fairyland is a symbol of the British aristocracy, and appreciating and savoring gardens has become an elegant lifestyle that reflects the British personality. As the country with the highest level of gardening in the world, Britain not only has magnificent aristocratic gardens and public gardens, but also has an endless stream of private gardens that are even more amazing. Today, let us take you to the 8 most beautiful English gardens to experience the British obsession with gardens.

Painswick Rococo Garden

Painswick Rococo Gardens is located in Gloucestershire. It was built in the mid-18th century in a typical Rococo style. Fragile, gorgeous, exquisite, and complicated are the biggest characteristics of Rococo style. This garden is the only survivor of this kind of architecture. The exquisite design reproduces the life interests of the wealthy owners at that time: pursuing delicacy and exquisiteness, while advocating luxurious and complicated design and decoration styles. The most famous are the interesting maze, the art festival in August every year, and the snow bells that cannot be missed.

Gravetye Manor

Gravetye Manor is located in Sussex, and its gardens are considered one of the most influential English gardens in the UK. The manor became the home of the innovative William Robinson in 1884, a successful gardener, botanist and writer. Robinson's concept of integrating nature into the garden instead of too much artificial intervention and sculpture is still one of the most proud features of British gardens, and this is also reflected in the 35 hectares of gardens at Gravetye Manor. Now it has become a boutique hotel, and the gardens are even more beautiful under the care of the chief gardener.

Levens Hall has been ruled by the same family for four centuries, so the layout of the garden has hardly changed since 1690. The garden is unique in that the plants are cut and transformed into a living sculpture garden, with more than 100 green sculptures in various shapes, such as chess pieces, umbrellas, kings, etc. In addition, the garden has a beautiful herbaceous border, a herb garden and a fountain garden.
