The Lady Ryder Memorial Garden

Welcome to the Lady Ryder Memorial Garden

Situated in a superb rural setting above the renowned Hambleden Valley in the heart of the Chiltern countryside. The Lady Ryder Memorial Garden is a 1 acre walled garden that was built at the end of the 19th century. After years of neglect a team of local volunteers took over the derelict garden in 2010 and started the process of restoring much of the former glory of the garden.
