The national newspaper collated the list for "a nation of gardeners" and included famous sites such as Kew Gardens and Blenheim Palace. Wrest Park, which sits just over the county border in Silsoe, Bedfordshire, also made the list and was praised for "chronicling the evolution of the English garden". "Occupying 92 acres of bucolic Bedfordshire, Wrest Park takes visitors on a journey through three centuries of landscape design and chronicles the evolution of the English garden," the article reads. "French, Dutch and Italian styles are also showcased, but venture beyond the pretty parterres and perfumed borders to discover woodland walks, sculptures and ornate buildings such as Bowling Green House and the Archer Pavilion. "Check in to Flitwick Manor, a classical Georgian house amid the tranquillity of acres of rolling gardens and parkland."
