English Garden Tours are ideal for independent travellers who wish to extend and practise their English while exploring wonderful houses and gardens.

Each of the eight programmes combines informal morning English conversation classes with guided afternoon visits to some of the most celebrated gardens in England.

The programmes allow for shopping for books, antiques, country clothes and gifts, walks in the country, theatre visits and concert performances. Accommodation for the Manchester based programmes is provided by friendly hosts within walking distance of Moor Cottage. Hotel accommodation can be arranged if preferred.

The Tour Leader for English Garden Tours is Michaeljon Ashworth - garden historian, fine art historian, author and specialist in Italian influences on British gardens.
