The Dorothy Clive Garden

This review is specifically for the Halloween Walk. We love our visits to the garden on other occasions. However, we attended the Halloween walk last year with our granddaughters and we really enjoyed it. This year it was completely different. The weather was poor but even so there were far less scary people about. The children were so disappointed. Also the witches brew for kids was hot chocolate last year with 2 chocolate eye balls. This year it was hot vimto which didn't go down too well. For the cost I felt let down and I don't think we will go next year.

Beautiful charity garden. Visited for the first time and will be returning. Annual membership is only £20pp which I used my original entry fee towards after deciding I would definitely return. My joint annual membership also includes free membership for 3 under 18's.Car parking is easy with many spaces, there is a gift shop, plant sales and nice tea room with garden terrace. Particularly nice on a sunny day. Staff were friendly. There are plenty of benches and also a separate picnic area.Upon entry we were given a map to explore the many different parts of the garden. The waterfall is beautiful, as is the laburnum arch.100% recommend.

Lovely place. A nice way to spend 2 or ,3 hours. Full of colour, a garden for all seasons. Pram and wheelchair friendly paths and restrooms at the top and bottom of the site. The cafe is also lovely with a nice seating area. Annual membership is only £22 (twice the entry fee) so very affordable if you plan to return regularly. Also dog friendly.

Excellent from the welcome of the informative entrance guide to the stunning gardens very hilly but worth it for the view alone at the top of the garden. The cafe & the girls who staff it are superb nothing to much trouble & excellent choice.

Great day out with my wonderful wife. I should keep this place more of a secret. But, it was so enjoyable it would be rude not to tell people how nice this place is. Highly recommended.

Beautiful gardens. The laburnum arch wasn’t quite ready, but still fabulous. Can’t wait to visit again in a few days to see the summer flowers this time around.

Lovely place to visit with amazing gardens but for the size of it I found the admission price of £11 a little bit pricey. There are lots of paths around the garden and all was kept tidy. Lunch was also nice at the cafe.

Lovely gardens with some unusual plants. Good for walking round, though a little hilly. Cafe with good food. Interesting craft shop. All staff were really pleasant and helpful. Photos from viewpoint at the top of the gardens and from craft shop. Some really good woodturning also in the craft shop.

Beautiful! Thoughtful use of a hillside setting, with a good variety of plants and different variations of planting. Our visit at the start of June was full of colour and the rhododendrons really are something special. Glad we made the journey to visit.
