These superlative botanic gardens overlooking the Dee Estuary contain the finest collection of rhododendrons and azaleas in the North-West; one of the best-known heather gardens in Britain; and an outstanding collection of Himalayan and Chinese plants.

They also boast a magnificent herbaceous border, specimen shrubs and a herb garden containing all the major culinary herbs.

There is a rose garden set out to show how roses have developed since the late 1700s.

 

The Rock Garden lies in a valley below the house, facing south and ideal for tender plants.

 

Close by are a new waterfall, the arboretum and the ever-popular water gardens.
