About Exbury Gardens

Exbury Gardens is big with 200 acres of grounds for you to discover and explore.

There is plenty to see throughout the year from the two Camellia Walks, Azaleas and Rhododendrons, Daffodils and Magnolias in Spring.

To the Iris, Herbaceous, Sundial and Centenary Gardens in Summer, the amazing colours in the Woodland in Autumn and the  Winter Wonderland  and Christmas Fairs in Winter.

There are some really great opportunities for taking photographs as well.

Watch out for the Nerine plant exhibition and you can buy some to take home.

Of course you do need to go on the Steam Railway, dogs allowed, while you are visiting.

Enjoy the narrow gauge railway on its one and a half mile track as it winds through the grounds.

There are 22 miles of pathways to follow if you fancy stretching your legs or walking your dog.

Refreshments are provided by Mr Eddy’s Restaurant, The Little Kitchen Company and the Old Tennis Courts Outdoor Café .

There is a very good Gift Shop and Plant Centre catering for all you and your children’s needs.
