Om
Hurtige fakta: Fordelt på 19 acres fremviser disse haver over 5.000 plantearter fra hele verden. Otte adskilte drivhuse skaber forskellige klimazoner, fra tørre ørkenlandskaber til tropiske regnskovsforhold.
Højdepunkter: En smalsporet jernbane førte engang kul gennem tunneler under havene til opvarmning af drivhusene, og du kan stadig få øje på de forseglede tunnelindgange, hvis du ved, hvor du skal kigge. Det buede bjørnehul i støbejern fra 1856 står stadig bag hovedpavillonen, en overraskende elegant konstruktion bygget til et skue, der ikke længere eksisterer.
Insidertips
- Enter through the curved gates on Clarkehouse Road for the grandest first view of the formal gardens.
- The south-facing walled garden traps heat and blooms earlier in spring, a warm spot for a winter visit.
- Visit the bear pit in late afternoon when low sun casts dramatic shadows through its ironwork.
- Pack a picnic rather than buying cafe food; benches are scattered throughout the quieter side paths.
