Where Rainbows Grow
During the spring and early summer, you will find one of
England's finest collections of rhododendrons and azaleas. The
spectacular colours have to be seen to be believed. The
gardens also include many rare trees, shrubs and alpine
plants. Visitors may wander through the gardens, which are
recognised internationally, or relax and admire the spectacular
views across the Derwent Valley.
The Tea Garden Café offers a range of fair-trade tea and coffee
together with scrumptious homemade cakes making the perfect
tranquil setting for a spot of lunch after your tour around the
beautiful gardens. Locally made ice-cream from Bluebells
Dairy and gluten free cakes on offer too.
Look out for the events and the annual Music Day for a special
treat.
