For many, the likes of familiar old favourites Sissinghurst and Chatsworth will undoubtedly be on the cards, with romantic rose gardens and marvellous displays of cramming every cranny with colour.

In this episode, discover:

• Sissinghurst Castle Garden and their beautiful rose garden and mixture of Tudor red-brick buildings with a romantic mix of plants within the walls.
• Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top with it’s rolling wooded hills and valleys filled with loose planting that attracted animals for her drawings.
• Rousham House & Gardens with their gorgeous free range hens welcoming a delighted Arthur on arrival and the unique wildness to their gardens, veg and herbs.
• Chatsworth House & Gardens who are leading the way in the cut flower movement and showcase stunning ways to companion plant, being the most productive and experimenting garden they’ve visited!
• Sarah’s wildflower walk in Cornwall starting at Kynance Cove which feels like walking through a flowery salad with the aqua blue of the sea to one side, and fields of exotic and rare Cornish tropics to the other.
• The most western point of British Isles in the Outer Hebrides with it’s coral white sands and extraordinary mix of rare Orchids.
• Arthur’s favourite visit to Chester Zoo with their own gin created on site, incredible conservation work and fields of feed grown for their own animals.
