York Gate GardenThis Arts and Crafts garden on the outskirts of Leeds really packs a punch, with the Gardeners’ World team visiting three times in 2023. The site is composed of a series of lovely garden rooms, and it’s hard to believe it’s all squeezed into one-acre. Water is an ever-present feature, as well as the many reclaimed materials in use, like the arbour made from the remains of a fire-damaged church. The garden is a fount of inspiration, having recently featured in our podcast series Alan’s Favourites as one of the broadcaster’s most loved gardens.

Hever Castle Rose Garden at Hever Castle — Image credit: Hever Castle and Gardens Last autumn, the show visited Hever Castle in Kent. Formerly the home of Anne Boleyn, by the 19th century it had fallen into disrepair. Then came William Waldorf Astor, a wealthy American full of ambition. First, he restored the castle moat. Next, he set about transforming more of the local landscape, digging his own lake. Highlights of the garden include the ornate Italian Garden, created to showcase Astor’s sculpture collection, and a giant topiary chess set, modelled on pieces once owned by Henry VIII.
