Inspired by the Himalayas, the garden is home to one of the North’s largest collection of rhododendrons, azaleas and magnolias. The terrain undulates with steep paths in some areas, meandering through 45 acres of woodlands, gardens, an arboretum, and alongside tranquil lakes with a multitude of wildlife.

Over 90 contemporary sculptures are dotted around the park, carefully chosen to enhance the surrounding environment and with a woodland adventure playground it’s great for kids to explore and hunt-out the Fairy Doors. New for 2024 the garden is hosting ‘Sculpture in the Landscape’ an exhibition of new sculptures by artists from throughout the UK.

A wide selection of refreshments are available from the Garden Tearoom and a programme of creative workshops and events are held at the garden throughout the year. Dogs are welcome on leads. Sadly the garden is not suitable for people with mobility issues. Garden tickets must be booked online. www.himalayangarden.com
