High Glanau Manor is an important Arts and Crafts house set in 12 acres of garden designed by H Avray Tipping. Tipping worked alongside Gertrude Jekyll, by whom he was much influenced in his own gardens. The house and gardens have been expertly restored by the current owners over the last 20 years and we will be given an introduction to Tipping and Glanau by Mrs Gerrish, who has become an authority on his work.
In the afternoon we will continue with the ‘Tipping’ theme with a visit to another of his gardens at Wyndcliffe Court, which was built slightly earlier than High Glanau. The garden was designed to be integral with the house in the ‘Italianate’ Arts and Crafts Style and it is listed as an exceptional garden of 1922 which survives unaltered. It is on a steeply sloping site, with wonderful roses in June/July and a large variety of shrubs, climbers and choice plants. The gardens also feature ancient sculpted topiary, a sunken garden, woodland and a walled garden.
The coach will leave from Taunton (at about 9.00am) and will pick up at Clevedon. Return to Taunton should be by 6.00pm.
