Snowshill Manor and Garden
Recommended by
Overview
Snowshill Manor is a Cotswold manor house packed with extraordinary treasures brought together over a lifetime by the collector, architect and craftsman Charles Wade (1883-1956). Inside you can discover the eclectic items that he restored and displayed; from tiny toys, to samurai armour, and from musical instruments to fine clocks, thousands of objects are laid out for you to see, just as Mr Wade intended. The garden is the perfect place to unwind and explore hidden vistas, quiet corners and unexpected delights, including Charles Wade's uncomplicated home, the Priest's House. "Let nothing perish" was his motto, and his life was dedicated to doing just that. From the everyday to the extraordinary, you can discover his passion for craftsmanship, colour and design.

About the area
Gloucestershire is home to a variety of landscapes, including the Cotswolds, a region of gentle hills, valleys and gem-like villages that roll through the county. To their west is the Severn Plain, watered by Britain’s longest river and characterised by orchards and farms marked out by hedgerows that blaze with mayflower in the spring; beyond the Severn are the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley.
