(SB AQ GB)


No tours available

Westonbury Mill Water Gardens is beautiful and fun - set in the wonderful wild heart of Herefordshire. About half of its 3½ acres is filled with massed planting of vividly colourful moisture-lovers laid out around a tangle of streams and ponds, partly shaded by a backdrop of mature trees.

Punctuating the garden are a  number of  fantastic follies, often featured on national television, which will fascinate and entertain you. There is a castellated tower with gargoyles which spout jets of water, a fern grotto with a domed roof made of wine bottles which sparkle in the sun, and a giant water powered cuckoo clock in a 23 ft half timbered oak tower.

Walking amongst the garden’s exuberant growth, you  will find that it opens up slowly and provides new interest around each corner. There are lots of benches where you can relax for a long view.

The other half of the garden is a wild flower meadow where you can walk alongside the Curl Brook among banks of shrubs and young trees, or climb the spiral path of the great mound in the middle of the meadow and  enjoy splendid views of the garden, neighbouring farmland and distant hills.

Cafe: There is an excellent cafe for coffee, lunches and teas

Plant nursery: There is a wide selection of plants from the garden
