we visited just after the Government lifted restrictions for museums and historical places ,operating an one way system and hand sanitizers in place. we went on a hot day and the walk through the wooded area was lovely and cool with some benches available to seat on which was nice. A must see is the fountain which turns on every hour absolutely fantastic sight , the ruins was also great it must had been a wonderful sight in it's days. Also a great area for a picnic if you fancy a nice cup of tea and cake then take a visit to the cafe.

These beautiful historic gardens and arboretum dating back to the late 1700's are surrounded by over 1600 acres of countryside within the picturesque village of Upper Arley beside the river Severn. In addition to providing wonderful walks through the 300 ancient trees of the arboretum there are walks along the banks of the river, all set in the beautiful Worcestershire countryside with far reaching views. Go back in time and watch the Severn Valley Railway trains steam across the hill from one of the magnificent signposted walks. An ideal day out for you and your family with an adventure play area and a maze for the kids as well as interactive trails and seasonal events. The Italian Garden with feature fountains and formal planting is a must see along with our Magnolia Garden, 65m laburnum arch, Camilla walk, Acer amd the majestic autumn colours. There is a wonderful garden tea room, serving homemade food and a delicious array of cakes and speciality hot and cold drinks.

Wanted to take mum out for the afternoon & opted for Arley. Been meaning to go for ages & finally got round to it. So glad we did because it was a perfect afternoon with sunshine & a easy walk around the site taking in some marvellous tree specimens. Café was average in décor & food - opted for tea & a bacon buttie. Staff were friendly & efficient. Recommended.

Expect the unexpected. Incredible innovation, devastating loss, remarkable survival and magnificent restoration. All in one place There’s more than meets the eye at Croome. A secret wartime airbase, now a visitor centre, was once a hub of activity for thousands of people. Outside is the grandest of English landscapes, ‘Capability’ Brown’s masterful first commission, with commanding views over the Malverns. The parkland was nearly lost, but is now great for walks and adventures with a surprise around every corner. At the heart of the park lies Croome Court, once home to the Earls of Coventry with four floors to explore. The 6th Earl of Coventry was an 18th century trend-setter and today Croome follows his lead by using artists and craftspeople in the house to tell the story of its eclectic past in inventive ways, perfect for making new discoveries.

Croome Park at the beginning of blooming June on a beautiful Sunday morning, there is no better place I would rather visit, this is Croome at its very best. Always the genuine, friendly welcome and efficient entry for members of NT, the gentle walk through to the chapel and then the moment to saver, the view to the Malvern Hills, scanning down to the elongated lake across the long grasses that house butterflies, bees and insects, this romantic setting caresses ones soul. The stroll down the meandering pathway leading to the lake where on this occasion after crossing the Chinese bridge, saw me walk to the monument at the far end of the park, watching so much birdlife, resident swans and friendly Canadian geese. At the far end of the park, wonderful views back to the house and then to walk the opposite side. The house opens at 11am, and this visit meant numerous new features and exhibits could be explored. Up stairs the embroiderer's Guild exhibition was enjoyed along with the Grayson Perry, Wilson, Bridge and Amy Jayne Hughes Ceramic landscape pottery. Back outside and the prolific birdlife, nesting, swopping, dipping this was an aerobatic display of brilliance. So to the larger part of the lake and a moment to hide due to a short heavy shower. Beautiful lake, the bridges, fantastic shapes and shadows cast by the stoic and elegant trees formations. Shrubs flowering, people with friendly faces, this is serendipity, a place of heavenly nature, no golden elixir, just a magical place, such joy to behold! The walled garden is an added extra that is always a pleasure to view. Excellent NT facilities, museum, shop, cafe and second hand bookshop.

Lovely, blousy, rambling gardens filled with rare and unusual plants and points of interest. I've visited the gardens and nursery many times over the years. The owner is always very helpful and her nursery is well worth a look at if you're interested in obtaining some of the plants found growing in the gardens. The owner's dogs can be in attendance (with owner!) - friendly to people. Stone House Cottage Gardens are a remarkable endeavour and make a good hour or more visit as and when they open again in spring.

Even in the wind and rain, this park was worth a visit. Set behind the theatre, it still has many features from when it was first developed. There are information boards telling the history and a play area and duck pond for the kids. If you want a quiet spot for contemplation, there are seats hidden in little nooks and crannies about the park. One feature is the bandstand, rebuilt with nominated bricks, makes an interesting read.
9. Picton Garden
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 49 reviews
A small family run garden and plant nursery. The garden is 1.5 acres and packed with unusual plants including the Plant Heritage National Collection of Michaelmas daisies. Although known as an autumn garden with the daisies peaking late September and early October, there is a plethora of interesting trees, shrubs, bulbs and other herbaceous throughout the year. The nursery beside the garden was established in 1906 and has always specialised in Michaelmas daisies stocking many of the 420+ varieties grown in the collection. We are passionate about plants and about the garden, with a huge knowledge base to work from. We are a traditional plant nursery not a garden centre, you will not find a cafe here, nor compost, pots and tat but you will find people who love and care about what they do and who are keen to share this passion with any one in the slightest interested, whether you are just starting out with your very first plot or are already an expert.

We love Cooks Garden Centre. We purchase lots of plants throughout the seasons and always go to them for all our Christmas decorations: swags, wreaths & baubles etc. Fabulous ranges, very knowledgable and friendly team, whether at home, in their nursery or at Hampton Court. We thoroughly recommend their beautiful Hydrangeas (we've just bought 12 more) and a new surprise was Viola: Columbine, with the most exquisite scent: Fabulous
