Bridge End Cottage sits in the village of Ockham, Surrey. From May to August the garden is open by arrangement through the National Garden Scheme. It is a large garden with plenty to see — from wildflower meadows and a productive greenhouse to a tranquil pond and a historic orangery.
Visits are arranged directly with the garden owner, Mrs. Clare Bevan. Groups of 10–25 are preferred. Interested gardeners are particularly welcome and can be taken on a full tour by Clare herself, with time for discussion of plants, Latin names, and gardening tips — followed by tea and cake in the orangery.

Bridge End Cottage's grounds encompass a rich variety of garden habitats — from the formal front garden and productive greenhouse, to a wildflower meadow, damp garden, and a series of vegetable patches. This hand-drawn plan gives a sense of the layout and scale of the grounds.
