Fabulous Gardens

Visit England’s Northwest at any time of year and you’ll find a stunning array of horticultural displays. Here you’ll find some of Britain's most enchanting parks and gardens; from historic estates to urban oases, all reflecting their individual settings and artistic creators.

Cheshire is no doubt a gardeners Mecca. The year-round splendour of Tatton Park echoes a regal status that only few gardens can claim, and with the annual RHS Flower Show in July, it has long been a firm favourite. 2008 is Cheshire’s Year of Gardens, with a programme of events set to make the most of their green settings.

Manchester’s chic urban parks mean you are never far from nature, even in the heart of the city, whilst Lancashire’s grand stately homes contrast with the county’s wild and open moorland.

Liverpool is home to the National Wildflower Centre and a host of historic parks, and in Cumbria - the Lake District, you’re guaranteed spectacular scenery and a rich history.

In England’s Northwest you’ll find all of the green-fingered inspiration that you need, or just your own haven to escape the hustle of modern life.
