I have never been here before plus I am from London so it is not like I can 😂 It is a beautiful garden, so much different types of flowers , plants etc. Very big too and the the little water fall and pond was lovely too And the pub was pretty lovely too. You can help yourself with water. The bathroom has a couch! Whaaat , pretty cosy! Also, the drinks was pretty tasty too.

Great hidden gem. Nice walk up Highdown hill and toilets open most days until dusk.

Really nice place, visited in June 2026. Not crowded. Great plant selection.

A stunning hidden garden full of rare and unusual plants and trees. A true delight. And FREE entry and car parking too. Amazing. Beautifully tended and a looked after by the local authority. How rare is that these days. They should be commended. A great collection of unusual trees. One I had never seen before was a shaggy bark Arbutus (Strawberry Tree) shown in third photo. Highly, highly recommend a visit P. S. Pub next door (original house) has an excellent selection of beers, a lovely garden area and superb food. What a bonus!!!

Beautiful gardens. Free parking (must be under 2.1m as there's a barrier. We went on a busy bank holiday and whilst we had to park in the overflow car park there was plenty of room still. Lovely walk around the gardens, took us around 1-2 hours with adult children including stopping for a short sit down. There's a pond there, quite shallow but watch young children. It has an enormous fish in it which even my adult kids loved spotting and in May loads of tadpoles which younger kids would enjoy spotting. There are plenty of shaded as well as open spots to walk around and what seems to be a small visitor centre at the start (it wasn't open when we went so can't comment on it). Not somewhere to spend the day but certainly somewhere to stop for a short walk if you have time. The toilets are not pleasant and it could have done with a map of the place at the start so you didn't miss any of it and I understand why they don't want dogs but it's also frustrating when there is a wide open hill next door to walk your dog but you can't then take them into the gardens. All in all however definitely worth stopping off. There's also no right turn into there so you have to do to the roundabout and back to turn into it if heading from east to west.
