Similarly, Borwood in Wiltshire is home to "one of the finest spring displays in Britain".

"Covering 60 acres and surrounding a Palladian mausoleum designed by Robert Adam in 1762, this garden offers a masterclass in how to grow Asian rhododendrons," he explained.

Dorothy Clive Garden in Shropshire also warranted a mention, with its superb spring bulbs and carpet of bluebells a sure-fire treat for any green-fingered soul.
