The Lost Gardens of Heligan (Cornwall)

Lose yourself in the magic of these enchanting gardens. Discover the woodland sculptures of Giant’s Head and Mudmaid and clamber over the rope bridge that hangs across the jungle canopy. This award winning garden restoration project is fun for the whole family.

Royal Botantic Garden (Edinburgh)

On a city centre hillside and offering spectacular views of Edinburgh, the Royal Botanic Garden is home to the largest collection of wild-origin Chinese plants outside China. The tumbling waterfall, impressive Sierra redwoods and world-famous rock garden make this an inspirational visit for experts and novices alike.

Bodnant Garden (Conwy)

Known worldwide for its botanical collections, Bodnant Garden gives visitors a chance to explore an array of exotic plants grown from seeds and cuttings gathered on plant-hunting expeditions over the last century.

Mount Stewart (County Down)

This is pinned as one of the most inspiring and unusual gardens in the National Trust's ownership with a rich array of Mediterranean design. You can now visit the newly restored Walled Garden that has helped to save one of the oldest grape vines in the UK and Ireland.

Stourhead (Wiltshire)

Perhaps the most beautiful and magical of all of the great landscape gardens, Stourhead is an English 18th-century view of Arcadian paradise. In late spring and early summer the garden is a tranquil place to sit and relax, enjoy a picnic and immerse yourself in 300 years of history.

With just a snippet of what’s on offer, there’s so much to see and do. Why go abroad when we have so many fantastic places to visit right on our doorstep? A day at one of these quintessential gardens will inspire you to explore more and with school holidays just around the corner, it’s the right time to make a bucket list on your next holiday destination.
