for those looking for a bit more excercise there are marked trails including the Beech Walk.

There is a visitor centre, performance area and a picnic area.

As well as the gardens there is a Pop Up Shop selling a range of herbaceous, succulents, climbers, shrubs and trees – open in the Glasshouse when volunteers are available!

And look out for events such as the Snowdrop Tours, Cutting Workshops and Tours of the Garden!

Refreshments are provided by the Highdown Hotel, Restaurant & Tea Rooms. Yummy!
