Great bike ride, wonderful views (especially at Meldon), and topped off perfectly with a sandwich and drink at the Castle Inn Lydford.

Our first visit to this location but not our last. Had a lovely walk in the area with our ice creams and when we had finished stopped back off at the cafe for drinks and cake. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. Very well maintained paths to walk on and lovely scenery. We could have done with a leaflet to see where the various routes go but then we didn't ask so there may be some. Will be back for more visits I'm sure.

Bowdens Gardens host of two national collections: The National Collection of Hostas and The National Collection of Agapanthus, in a mature, restful garden. There are two additional gardens to visit within 400 yards of the main garden. All these gardens are covered by our unique audio tour gently explaining the background behind the business and the depth of planting and tales of hosta discoveries and mad fern professors! Bowdens sell hostas (of course), ferns and bamboos. Complimentary coffee is served all day in a wooded courtyard area alongside vintage garden books and our retro plant hunter's log cabin.

We had a spare hour after walking at Meldon Viaduct. Not much is open in lockdown so finding this nursery open was a welcome surprise. They were really welcoming and very knowledgeable about the plants. It's a real family affair but you're left to wander the gardens in peace, only disturbed by the blackbirds. I highly recommend a short visit if you like plants.
