Since Saxon times, the stone built village of Bourton on the Hill has hugged the Cotswold escarpment. Built on monastic lands, Bourton House, its Brewhouse stables and coach house have created a courtyard since the late 16th century.
There are 10 acres of garden, 3 acres immediately surrounding Bourton House including the ornamental garden, kitchen garden and the orchard. A seven acre walled pasture is now given over to specimen trees and sculpture.
