Abbotsbury, Sub Tropical Gardens

Allow them to look much time, go and feel the peace in this amazing place. recommend it in every age. the cakes I. the tea shop are amazing and many plants to buy and take to home

We have an Annual Pass and it is just a great place to visit during different seasons. We love to be there and bought beautiful plants in the shop.

Visited a few years ago, and as a photographer found it a great place to visit, came back for the enchanted illuminations, and it didn't disappoint, unfortunately my wife could do the whole walk due to a knee operation, but the son really enjoyed the lights.

It may seem pricey but it has to be maintained. If you book in advance online 20% discount. We arrived at 11.00 and left at 5pm. The cafe is more expensive than going to Costa but it is a lovely setting and can be used by anyone as outside the ticket office. To get the most out of the garden I do think you need an interest in trees,scrubs,plants as they have some very interesting specimens from across the world. That said even if you just want to stroll and enjoy the birds and peacefulness of the garden it is still worth a visit. The walk up to the viewpoint is testing but worth the effort for magnificent views of The Coast. Don't go straight up zig zag the slope it's less effort.

Wonderful day out. Everything was so natural. Many of the plants had the biological name displayed. Especially liked lilly ponds and the great rope bridge. Will definitely recommend visit.
