this a really big forest with lots of different trails and walks something for every one, my 2 border collies love it there. there are 4 different car parks that I know of but you must remember that it is a forest and be prepared for some dirt and mud in places, the only thing that spoils it for me is when people leave litter or dog poo bags for someone else to clear up, I love the piece and tranquility of the trails that are off the main areas, there is also a lot of work being done near Whitegate car park, so some of the tracks and trails are closed, they are doing lots of work reestablishing the peat bogs, and getting ready to reestablish Beavers to the area

5. Arley Hall & Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 605 reviews
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALTHOUGH THE GARDENS ARE OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK, THE HALL IS ONLY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ON TUESDAYS, SUNDAYS AND BANK HOLIDAYS. Arley is a place of enormous character, charm and interest. Visitors are frequently struck by the warm and intimate atmosphere and the feeling that Arley is a much-cherished family home. The Gardens, which are amongst the finest in Britain, are outstanding for their vitality, variety and historical interest and are particularly celebrated for the magnificent double herbaceous border. The Hall is an impressive example of a Victorian country house built in the Elizabethan style.

We wanted to make the most of the beautiful weather but avoid the busy beaches. Arley Hall & Gardens was perfect for this! Lots of open spaces, beautiful plants, flowers & structures to explore. A feast for the eyes with all the colours of the flowers in full bloom. We took a picnic but treated ourselves with a cake from the cafe; which was fresh, flavourful and very yummy. Suitable for visitors of all ages and mobility. Easy to negotiate paths for prams/scooters/chairs. Plenty of benches to take a rest or to take in your surroundings. The hall wasn't open during our visit, but we are keen to return on a day that it is. Good value day out.

I bought an Owl Experience for my wife and I as a joint Christmas present, but due to Covid-19 it wasn’t until now (August) that we could actually get around to doing it. The wait was definitely well worth it..... From the moment we checked in with the helpful Vinnie and the wonderful afternoon spent with the owl handler Peter, it’s hard to describe what a great day we had. Peter was a great guide. His enthusiasm, care and knowledge for his birds was evident to see, add in his humorous and friendly manner it made for a perfect afternoon. My son tagged along as a spectator, but the ‘non-fliers’ were just as involved as the lucky ones doing the handling, so I’d definitely going along as a spectator. We took so many photos it was hard to choose a favourite, and the owls were so photogenic, they made great subjects. I’d definite recommend it and the Covid-19 safety measures were implemented well and didn’t effect our wonderful day. Can’t thank you enough, we’ve so many great memories of the day.
7. Abbeywood Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 215 reviews
The Rowlinson family have lived at Abbeywood since 1987, during which time they have made many improvements and additions to the gardens. The year starts in February with many varieties of Galanthus in Jane's Garden, followed by other Spring favourites, Erythroniums and Trilliums, to name but a few of her rare plants. The Main Garden is divided into separate areas. The formal layout gives way to naturalistic planting within. Early May starts with Tulips followed by Alliums and Camassia. Seasonal interest continues until around mid September - weather depending. The Christopher Lloyd inspired Exotic Garden, designed around the remnants of the old vegetable garden, is filled with Dahlias, Cannas, Banana and other tender perennials. These continue until the first frosts. The Young Arboretum is planted with rare evergreen and deciduous trees for year round interest. A 2km, wildlife walk incorporates the existing and new woodland on the 45 acre grounds.

So much to see here. I loved the prairie planting, in the wind today it sounded wonderful. The tropical garden is spectacular as well. There are numerous walks and a nice tea room. There are also unusual plants for sale. Well worth a visit.

Traditional Family run Gardens, Tea Room & Large Plant Nursery. This is a must for the keen gardener and wildlife lover. The Gardens are set beyond the Nursery and once walking through the walled archway the magic begins. The gardens are set around a tranquil pool with island pathways and wooden bridges leading to various features. This Monet-style landscape has a wealth of moisture-loving plants, including iris and primulas. Drier areas feature unusual perennials and rarer trees and shrubs. Woodland paths meander through shade and bog plantings with views across the pool to the cottage gardens. Outdoor Theatres and Weddings are also held here throughout the season. Also ideal for Cyclists and dog walkers as very close to the Delamere Loop and Sandstone Trail. Ladies Afternoon Teas, Group Tours and Workshops are also held throughout the season. Open March to October. Out of Season bookings taken for special events and groups. See our Website for more details on upcoming events.
