Hilliers Gardens - Romsey

Don't arrive late, because there's something hidden behind every shrub that you'll never believe is there—antique, clever conifers, swaying tropical trees, buzzing bees, stunning swimming pools, enormous fish, forests of giant rhubarb, and the sounds of squeaking through bamboo. There are tunnels that get smaller and smaller until you find yourself crawling through in a gluten-free manner, along with a decent selection of snacks.

This is the ideal spot for a walk every year. The place is filled with wonderful plants, trees, and expansive open areas, all beautifully landscaped to create a captivating environment. There’s plenty for both children and adults to enjoy, from breathtaking views to vibrant bird life. Don’t forget to check out the restaurants, which offer excellent food. There are often exhibitions featuring local artists and craftsmen as well. It’s truly the best place to spend your time!

I absolutely love this place! It's enjoyable in every season, every day, and in any weather! I also want to commend them for using china cups and “real” teaspoons at their café. This is a refreshing change compared to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, where they rely on plastic cups, lids, and cutlery, not just in their takeaway spots but also in their indoor cafés. Well done, Sir Harold Hillier Arboretum!

Hilliers is a perfect place to take the children. it is an excellent day for everyone. there is so much to do. the annual pass is amazing.
