Gibberd Gardens is the private house of architect and town planner Fred Gibberd - he designed the layout for Harlow New Town and the architectural aspects of Didcot Power Station; despite these modern monstrosities the 16 acre garden he pulled together on the country outskirts of Harlow (architects never live in the towns they design) is a delightful place to visit on a sunny day.
