Lost Gardens of England
The passing of the 20th century saw the demise of the great Victorian garden tradition: fortunately COUNTRY LIFE was around to photograph them all at their prime. Our gardening editor, Kathryn Bradley-Hole reveals 45 of these lost treasures in her new book


Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
