This gorgeous manor's Italianate gardens are open to the public and well worth a visit. On a hot day it really feels like you have been transported to Italy!

Hiking

The picturesque Iford Bridge spans over the Frome River at the very southern tip of the Cotswolds near Bradford-on-Avon. As you cross the bridge, you can enjoy delightful views up and down the river with surrounding scenes of lush greenery, idyllic countryside, and classic Bath Stone houses.
