Wyndcliffe Court Sculpture Gardens

Wyndcliffe Court is a Grade II listed house and garden near Chepstow in Monmouthshire. Open gardens for the Easter weekend with free entrance. Open as a Sculpture Gardens from 15th April-25th September 2016 the beautiful gardens will feature sculptures by local and international artists.

Designed by Henry Avray Tipping and completed in 1922, the garden, with its toppling yew topiary, sun-warmed stone walls, formal terracing, trickling fountain and bowling-green lawn, bears all the hallmarks of Tipping's designs.

The house stands above a broad south-facing terrace, where capsizing mounds of clipped yew jostle among stone-edged flowerbeds and water drips from an elegant dolphin wall fountain. The interface between the smooth grass of the bowling green below the terrace gives way to shady paths through the woods, creating exactly the contrast between cultivation and natural landscape that Tipping loved.
