The gates are always open to the public, inviting you to experience the gardens’ seasonal splendor.

Westonbury Mill Water Gardens nr Pembridge https://www.westonburymillwatergardens.com/ The gardens are well known for their unique follies. There are now three follies, all very large, very different and completely useless but we hope they will amuse you as you amble through the garden. Set around the Curl Brook in 5 acres of mainly level ground. The pathways are grassed with numerous bridges criss-crossing the tangle of streams and ponds. There is a mass of colourful moisture-loving plants, shaded by a backdrop of mature trees and shrubs. Enjoy a stroll around the ponds or climb the spiral mound to take in the views of the local countryside. Take your time and rest on one of the many benches dotted around the garden.
