No matter what time of year or season you visit, the gardens of North Devon offer spectacular seas of colour! From our base in Bideford, we visit RHS Rosemoor, where hints of summer await around every corner, and Hartland Abbey, where you can stroll through the woodland which are carpeted with wildflowers that lead to the four secret 18th century Walled Gardens.

Nestled in a Devon valley, RHS Garden Rosemoor blends formal and informal plantings to magical effect. Explore the rose gardens, the long borders, the exotic gardens and all the seasonal delights at this stunning garden run by the Royal Horticultural Society.
The Formal Garden and Stream Field is where visitors experience first, that lead into the orchards and Fruit and Vegetable Gardens. Walking through the Underpass, discover the contrasting original garden of Lady Anne Berry which features many 'garden rooms' that seamlessly blend into one.
Enjoy a day at leisure or why not join our optional excursion to Lynton and Lynmouth, which hug the North Devon coast and are connected by the olde-worlde funicular railway that offers wonderful views across the bay? A visiting poet described Lynton and Lynmouth as Little Switzerland due to its Alpine-like appearance and the area is still referred to in this way today!
