Set deep in the lovely North Devon countryside, Rosemoor is an enchanting garden to visit at any time of the year.
Lady Anne Berry gifted Rosemoor to the RHS in 1988 and since then, the original eight acres have been greatly developed into 65 acres of gardens and woodlands.
In addition to the vast range of plants originally collected by Lady Anne, the RHS has added features such as the Formal Garden, extensive herbaceous borders, Herb and Cottage Gardens, a Potager, a Fruit and Vegetable Garden, two beautiful Rose Gardens, a Foliage and Plantsman’s Garden, as well as a superb Winter Garden, extensive stream and lakeside plantings and an Alpine House.
Things to do all year round
The Brash
Our fantastic family picnic and play area, ‘The Brash’, creates a natural hideaway in the woods for children (and adults!) of all ages to enjoy. There is log stepping stones, giant bugs to spot, dens, bird feeding stations and much more! You can enjoy a picnic in The Brash too, just make sure you bring your rug, and make yourselves at home!
Children’s trail
Pick up a free children’s trail at the entrance kiosk, have fun following the clues, and take your completed trail to the shop before claiming your prize!
There is a different version for Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter and the whole family can have fun spotting plants, insects and sights around the garden!
