What visitors say

Jeff Frankling

My wife and I and our elderly father in law had a fantastic day exploring the beautifully restored walled gardens, which are a brilliant mix of precise, elegant structure and vibrant, natural planting.Every area has its own distinct character, but the sheer scale of the Weston Walled Garden and the peaceful atmosphere around the lake were real highlights. The attention to detail by the gardening team is world-class—everything is meticulously maintained, well-signposted, and designed to look spectacular across the seasons. We found the visitor centre to be modern and welcoming, featuring a great cafe with excellent food and, of course, a superb plant centre that makes it nearly impossible to leave empty-handed. Accessibility is top-notch throughout, with wide, flat paths making it an easy and relaxing stroll and easy for our father in law to get around in the mobility scooter provided free by Bridgewater. Whether you are a passionate horticulturist looking for inspiration or just want a peaceful day out in beautiful surroundings, RHS Bridgewater is a must-visit.

We went there briefly yesterday. We just happened to be passing by and drove in impulsively. We were there for about 3 hours, so we couldnt do full justice to it. We saw only about one-fourth of the garden but from whatever we saw, it is absolutely worth it. The flowers were beautiful and you could see kids having a whale of a time just being able to run around. There was a lovely exhibition which had stalls of mostly kids stuff and handmade lotions and soaps. These were slightly overpriced though. The cafe is decent and the garden shop is awesome!

I first went to RHS gardens as part of the nationally lottery £1 promotion earlier this year. I loved it so much I got my membership and went back with my family yesterday. It’s huge, lots of amazing flowers and plants. Great spaces to relax and both times I’ve had coffee and cake and actually really liked the coffee. I’m going to admit I am a bit of a coffee snob. Gorgeous flowers and plants and it’s still spring! Can’t wait to see it in summer. Oh and my kids spent ages in the park, like more than an hour. Even though it was kind of busy it’s so big and we also took sandwhiches and had a picnic. We plan to go once a month. My new favourite place!

A great place to visit for a lovely day out. It is different every visit depending on the season and there is always something new to see. The main cafe serves lovely food and there is also a smaller cafe in the garden and a coffee van. The deck chairs to relax in the sun are a great idea. We have been several times and always enjoy walking round admiring the beautiful plants.
