Mr Sherwood said on his Facebook page that this is a place “Clouds would have cantered by nearly every day”.
“Any Clouds fans that come to Lambourn will be able to visit this tranquil place and pay their own respects,” he said.
He added it is a “wonderful tribute” to the “much-missed Clouds” and thanked Jockey Club Estates.

New Many Clouds Chase
Aintree racecourse has also revealed that a newly-promoted Grade Two race will be renamed the “Many Clouds Chase” in his honour.
The race will run on Becher Chase Day (9 December, 2017) at the Merseyside course.
Owner Trevor Hemmings said it was a “brilliant day” when Many Clouds won the 2015 Grand National.
“He kept finding more, which was typical of the horse, who was a born competitor — I owe so much to him,” he said.
“Many Clouds loved racing at Aintree and to commemorate him permanently there with this race, which he won last year, is a fitting tribute to a wonderful horse.”
John Baker, regional northwest director of the Jockey Club, said the racecourse is “delighted and honoured” to rename the chase in honour of the Grand National hero.
“I’d like to extend our gratitude to Trevor Hemmings, Oliver Sherwood and his team for allowing us to do so,” he added.
