English Gardens

Gardens in Southern England

From historic parklands, magnificent ornamental gardens to the modern eco-attraction, England is known for its beautiful gardens. Visit the various gardens and parks during your holiday in England, marvel at the impressive collection of plants from all over the world and let the old mansions captivate you in the spell of history. Here are four gardens in southern England that could not be more different but each worth a visit.

Hidcote Manor Garden

On your trip to the south of England you should not miss a visit to the Hidcote Manor Garden. South of Birmingham, in rural Gloucestershire, you can switch off from the world for a few hours.

Nyman's Garden

One of England's most beautiful gardens is located on the historic Nymans estate, surrounded by the rolling hills of County Sussex. A visit to Nymans Garden is worthwhile in every season.

Lost Gardens of Heligan

A visit to the Lost Gardens of Heligan is like a magical journey through time. The former country estate was left to decay for a long time, so that nature has reconquered its property. Discover hidden treasures and the impressive variety of plants in the jungle.

Eden Project

Come and marvel as one of the largest indoor rainforests awaits you - walk through the tropics of South America, West Africa and Asia at the Eden Project.
