Gardens can be beautiful, tranquil places at any time of the year, but the spring and summer months are when many plants really come into their own. If you’re visiting the UK this summer, check out these stunning gardens which are unique and distinctive enough to merit a special trip to visit them.
Brodsworth Hall and Gardens, Yorkshire
Brodsworth Hall is a fantastic example of a Victorian English country home. The interiors of the hall are stunningly beautiful and expertly done, but you’ll find just as much beauty and splendor in the gardens surrounding the house. Take a picnic to eat on the lawn, and make sure you dedicate enough time to the extensive rose gardens.
Winkworth Arboretum, Surrey
This nationally famous arboretum is home to many rare and wonderful species of trees, but during the spring and summer months you can also expect to enjoy a range of wild and cultivated flowers. The walks through the grounds are quite extensive, so set aside a whole afternoon to enjoy this special place.
Rosemoor Garden, Devon
This garden, officially recognized by the Royal Horticultural Society, displays many rare and wonderful plants and flowers. In June, the roses and meadow flowers bloom, while later in the season you can enjoy the sight of apples ripening on the trees in the orchard.
