Soon these beautiful gardens in the New Forest will be closed for the Winter. Said to be one of the finest woodland gardens in the country and a great way to spend a day.
Exbury Gardens & Steam Railway, situated in Beaulieu in the New Forest.
Over 20 miles of pathways and 200 acres of gardens I had no time to spare on this October afternoon if I was going to even get round half way.
You could easily while away a day here and come back tomorrow for more!

Whatever time of year you can be sure of a garden to delight all your senses. And I love to find the odd surprise. Let's go discover.
This is just a taster .... and
Hello Autumn - color in abundance!
There is a full programme of exhibitions on here. Currently the Nerine Exhibition first developed by Lionel de Rothchild in 1920's. This runs until 6th November.
Stunning!
And the a foreboding sky ...
Time for me to run for cover ....
and conveniently .....
Tea and cake!
Run for cover!
Just in time too! But you see there is always somewhere undercover for these downpours.
I found another place under cover in the Sundial Garden.
Under the shade of the Wistaria, which, by the way, is absolutely wonderful when in bloom and a must see! It puts on its very own show.
Even in the rain this little bee was working his hardest!
Now remember you still have time to visit....come rain, come shine
and you may be able to solve the mystery of the headless gardener .... ouch!
