HIGHLIGHTS: RHS Bridgewater, Lyme Park House & Gardens, Buxton, Ness Botanic Gardens, Roman Chester
In 2021, following the largest gardening project in Europe, the Royal Horticultural Society opened their first new garden in 17 years. Created out of the grounds of the former Worsley New Hall, a 19th Century residence in Salford, RHS Bridgewater is a stunning 154 acre garden including one of the largest walled gardens in the country, and is sure to be an exciting must-see venue for any lover of regeneration, gardens and horticulture.
