Haystack near Snowshill

The beautiful village lies hidden away nestling in the hills of The Cotswolds.

Snowshill Manor is a fascinating tudor mansion now maintained by The National Trust. The house was purchased in 1919 by Charles Wade, an eccentric architect and antiquary. The manor was restored as a setting for Wade's huge collection of craftsmanship, as well as models which he had created. It is thought that Wade never lived in the manor house choosing a spartan lifestyle in the small house in the courtyard.

The garden was designed by M.H. Baillie Scott - a leading figure in the Arts and Crafts movement.
