The gardens as a whole are magnificent. They are extensive and range from natural tropical habitat that you can easily walk through on boardwalks, large grassed open space dwarfed by huge trees where you can barbeque or kick a ball with the kids, or simply be in awe of the exotic flowers and plants in the botanical section of the...

Well worth the visit a loverly way to spend a afternoon and have afternoon tea at the cafe.Just check opening times for the cafe

If you're lucky or patient you can see al... More
