Swiss Garden - Old Warden - Biggleswade

Nine acre garden said to have been created in the early 19th century for the Swiss mistress of the third Lord Ongley. Leased by Bedfordshire County Council in 1979 after long years of neglect, it has since been restored.

Dotted with footbridges, interlinking ponds, ironwork bridges and tiny Swiss cottages.

Romantic design with daffodils, rambling ponds, rhododendrons, azaleas and spring flowering shrubs.

Cedar of Lebanon, largest Arolla pines in England, 150 year old pieris, variegated sweet chestnut.

Grotto and fernery.

Further 10 acre native woodland with picnic area by the lake.
