Savill Garden

Savill Garden lies within Windsor Great Park in the Borough of Runnymede. The enclosed garden was begun in the 1930s by Sir Eric Savill, who later became Director of Gardens. It is now managed by the Crown Estate and contains woodland, ornamental beds and a pond.

The garden is known for displays planted by members of the Royal Family. The Queen Elizabeth Temperate House shelters temperate plants, while the New Zealand Garden shows plants from that country. In 2010 Queen Elizabeth II opened a new rose garden designed by Andrew Wilson and Gavin McWilliam. Sir Eric Savill also founded the National Collection of magnolias in the park.

Visitors find the Savill Building, a timber visitor centre opened in 2006 by Glenn Howells Architects. The garden and nearby Valley Gardens are Grade I listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. Woodland paths lead past ornamental borders and the pond, offering views of the wider park.
