About Lea Gardens

Lea Gardens is set in a 3 and a half acre plot just outside Lea and contains rhododendrons, azaleas and other plants.

Follow the winding paths and be bombarded by colour!

Speaking of paths they are mostly gravel and can be a bit steep.

Probably best visited in late April to June.

There is a Teashop selling cakes, light lunches and hot and cold beverages and is free to access.

The Plant Shop is open all year round selling, among others, Dwarf Rhododendrons and Azaleas.

Open 10 to 5pm.

You do need an appointment to visit the Plant Shop once the gardens are shut over winter.

Free Car Park.

Visitor Reviews of Lea Gardens

Google Visitor Review Score 4.7 stars

Don’t take our word for how genuinely super these gardens are. Here is what visitors to Lea Gardens had to say:

“The gardens themselves were stunning, I don’t think we saw it all, so I’ll just have to go back. Dogs on leads are allowed.”

“Gardens wonderful to walk through and explore as long as you are ok with steep steps and uneven surfaces, it is mostly gravel tracks.”

“The gardens are spectacular and the walk around the narrow, winding paths is magical.

The setting is beautiful too with rocks and ancient trees punctuating the rhododendrons.

There is also an extremely nice cafe and the food is very good, to have a meal outside overlooking the gardens is a real treat.”
