The Abbey garden features beautiful camellias, rhododendrons and magnolias. From the garden you can see right across the valley to the woodland stretching down to the river Tavy.
The Elizabethan Garden is typical of the Tudor era and the gentle sound of a fountain provides a calming backdrop as you take in the views. There is also a delightful Secret Garden and a Kitchen Garden, which is how it would have been in the time of the monks. The Cider House Garden feels like you're stepping into a hidden wonderland with borders full of seasonal blooms, and a lawn carpeted with wild flowers in spring and winding paths through trees and shrubs.
There are even outdoor games, including Quoits and skittles, available to play while you soak in the scenery.
There’s a tearoom on site and parking is good. An off-road disability vehicle is available to book on request. The gardens are open from 10.30am to 5.30pm. Dogs are welcome in some areas.
