Things To Do in Harvington, Worcestershire
Hidcote Manor Garden
About 8 miles from Harvington you'll find the perfect day out for any gardener - Hidcote Manor Garden.
Started in 1907 by Major Lawrence Johnston on land bought by his mother, Hidcote took 7 years to create - and a further 34 years and a team of 12 gardeners to perfect
The gardens are laid out in a series of "rooms" each with a different theme such as the Topiary Garden or the Fuchsia Garden.
Fittingly there's even a garden dedicated to the Major's mother who made everything possible
Well worth a visit for garden fans.

The house is furnished with authentic Elizabethan furniture, and is a great way to see how a wealthy farmer lived in the 1500s.
The cottage was built in the 16th Century, but the oldest part of the house is a pair of curved oak beams which date from 1463.
