Hampton Court Gardens city breaks - LONDON

Description

The tranquil Gardens at Hampton Court are one of the most ambitious garden creations of our time, during the summer months these beautiful gardens offer a delightfulul retreat for a relaxing stroll at leisure.
Original Victorian garden walls enclose stunning new flower gardens divided by canals, island pavilions and pleached avenues. The kitchen garden is an ornamental garden of fruit and vegetables. It is managed organically, supplying produce to the local Orangery Restaurant for its seasonal menu.
the Gardens feature a maze of a thousand yews with a gothic tower at its centre. Visitors may climb to the top for a panoramic view of the gardens or descend underground to a tunnel that leads to a waterfall in the sunken garden. Beautiful herbaceous borders stretch out from a one hundred and fifty year old wisteria tunnel that leads to vast lawns and ancient trees beside the castle. Beyond the lawns are riverside and woodland walks.
The garden shop, in the garden bothy, sells plants from the garden, homemade produce from the castle kitchens and local crafts and gifts.
