Exbury Gardens is a spectacular 200-acre site, world-famous for the Rothschild Collection of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and rare trees and shrubs. This earthly paradise offers a riot of colour in Spring, an oasis of tranquillity in Summer followed by a splendid show as the leaves change in the Autumn.
Capture Exbury’s hidden beauty and escape the cares of the world as you explore a myriad of pathways at your own pace.
Make family memories on our mini (12.25 inch gauge) steam railway and discover wildlife in its natural habitat. Children can climb on our adventure play area, make wild art with twigs and leaves and feed our giant Koi Carp.
Top the day off with an ice-cream or tea and cake in the newly refurbished Mr Eddy’s Restaurant and Café!
Exbury Gardens is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2019. To celebrate, Exbury will be unveiling a new ‘secret garden’, Spring pathway of 100,000 bulbs and history exhibition, plus an expanded events calendar.
