Shuttleworth Swiss Garden

About

A year-round visitor attraction in the heart of Bedfordshire, Old Warden aerodrome is one of the only remaining grass airfields in the country. Home to The Shuttleworth Collection, Swiss Garden, and Shuttleworth House. Whether you’re an aircraft aficionado, horticulturalist, family, or simply looking for a unique experience, Shuttleworth has something for everyone. The Swiss Garden is a late Regency, 9 acre garden, created by the third Lord Ongley between 1820 and 1835, and is laid out in the romantic and Swiss picturesque style. It is the only complete example of this period and is open to the public all year round. The Swiss Garden has 13 listed structures including a Swiss Cottage, Indian Kiosk, and Grotto and Fernery, as well as Victorian embellishments such as Pulhamite rockwork. This RHS partner garden is also a hugely popular wedding venue.
