The former home of the Mitford family, established in the 1880's, as a 'wild garden' with a collection of trees, Batsford now has 55 acres with 1500 different species, many rare bulbs, magnolias, flowering cherries and the 'handkerchief tree' in spring, maples in autumn. Something of interest all year round plus stream, waterfall, cave and garden sculptures including a buddha.
