The gardens at Abbotsbury <\/strong>are situated in a valley near the Chesil Beach in Dorset and date from 1762. The sheltered position has enabled sub tropical plants to grow among our native species.  Formal areas lead to the Valley Garden, a gentle coombe with camellias, magnolias and rhododendrons in woodland. Asiatic primroses border the banks of the stream in Spring with bridges and crossing paths.
Even in summer the woodland has colour with many colourful plants including hydrangeas.
There are many fine specimen trees which you would not see growing in this country. These are gardens which you should not miss and one of our favourites.

Each year in October the plants and trees are illuminated in a dazzling display of colours.

Take time to visit the nearby Chesil Beach with its display of wild coastal plants especially good in June\/July.

The gardens were added in the 16th century and comprise of massive terraces ( restored over recent years )  which once were planted with borders and pools.
