This should be at the top of your list if you’re a garden lover. With thirty eight individual ‘themed’ gardens across eight acres, there’s plenty to see and do here. Created by Geoff Hamilton for BBC Gardeners’ World, Barnsdale Gardens is Britain’s largest collection of individually designed gardens including a rose, Japanese, rock, knot, herb garden, orchard, woodland walk and heaps more.

It’s teeming with great ideas and the team room is open too so you can make an entire day of exploring. There’s also a variety of courses, plants for sale and weekend activities too.
