Sightseeing
One of the most impressive structures on Britain's waterways, the Avoncliff Aqueduct at over 100 metres long and 18 metres wide, carries the Kennet & Avon Canal over the River Avon.
Cycle up the towpath and visit the equally magnificent Dundas Aqueduct, opened in 1805. Both were built by the architect and engineer, John Rennie.
Walk the otherway along the towpath, passing the Barton Farm Country Park and you easily reach the bigger village of Bradford-upon-Avon.

Iford Manor itself sits in the middle of our 900 acre mixed estate. Our award-winning, peaceful, Grade 1 registered Iford Manor Gardens afford magnificent rural views across the valley, which we conserve under an environmental Higher Level Stewardship scheme in agreement with Natural England.
Since 1910, visitors to Iford Manor Gardens have received a warm welcome and this is a tradition that we are proud to continue. We hope that visitors leave feeling refreshed and inspired by their time in this beautiful and tranquil setting. For the first time, Iford Manor Gardens will appear on the Big Screen in Spring 2020 as a key location in “The Secret Garden” starring Colin Firth and Julie Walters.
From 2020 the works to save the Grade II cloister and Grade II Georgian summerhouse from collapse following major subsidence will be complete and they will once again be open for visitors to enjoy, newly restored. We continue to refresh the garden design in various areas and a rolling programme to update planting schemes is being implemented by our new Head Gardener Troy Scott Smith (formerly Head Gardener at Sissinghurst, Bodnant and The Courts). Those wishing to learn more can partake in our new ‘Behind the Scenes’ gardening tours, led by Troy or a member of our gardening team. Alternatively, for those more interested in the history, architecture, garden design and our future plans, there are a limited number of exclusive Champagne evening tours led by William Cartwright-Hignett who has lived at Iford all of his life.
All those enjoying the gardens or a walk in the valley can enjoy our delicious cakes and award-winning Iford Manor loose-leaf teas and Iford Cider from our Housekeeper’s Tearoom. The perfect pit-stop before or after a visit to the garden and a walk along just some of the 3 miles of footpaths that we maintain in the valley.
