Just over an hour’s drive from central Bristol, Sudeley Castle and Gardens is a Cotswold gem all year round but a new immersive 'bird song garden' makes it even more of a must-visit this summer. Created by acoustic ecologist and conservationist Cosmo Sheldrake, the new attraction is open until October 31.
It sits alongside the already popular Sudeley Sculpture Safari, a trail of almost 30 naturally-made, life-size animal sculptures that celebrates conservation and peaceful coexistence with nature. For the bird song garden, visitors to the castle enter a dedicated safari-style hut within a brand-new garden.
They then experience a beautiful musical composition featuring birds native to Sudeley, including owls, robins, blackbirds and waterfowl in a full-fledged dawn chorus.
