These are one of the best medium sized gardens we have been to. Some of the paths are not fit for people who have movement problems. However there is a level path over a bridge which takes you under the aqueduct. The planting would have done credit to a stately home. We had lunch in the restaurant which was very nice. We went with a Travel Zoo voucher and felt it was very good value.

We went to visit Kilver Court gardens over the last weekend, was pleasantly surprised it was a calm attractive area where I would imagine on a calm warm day would present a beautiful location to sit, relax and enjoy the view. If I was in the area again I would not hesitate to go to and pay the entrance fee again. Very nice garden, really enjoyed our walk there.

What lovely gardens! Loads of colour, even in mid October. This includes many flowers and plants as well as trees. Some of the paths are a little uneven, a wheelchair / pram might be difficult, but you can walk on the grass too. Helpful and friendly gardener, to help identify plants. Interesting shop and plant sales. Plenty of seats around the garden

Fabulous gardens with a little bit of everything; water, lawns, woodland, borders and more against a viaduct backdrop. The late summer flowering borders were stunning with bright vivacious colours. The gardens were extremely well looked after and would like to congratulate the gardeners. Well worth a visit; refreshments available near the entrance.

Designed for the former workers this garden is beautiful - restful and offering a range of planting styles, wooded, with a lake on one side, formal herbaceous planting and a rockery on the other. It's beautiful, a tranquil refuge.

Lovely garden to lie out in on hot summer days with lovely small plant shop and great cafe. Very fond memories of this place. Take a picnic and leave your cares behind. You won't be disappointed.

These gardens are very well maintained and extremely pretty. The viaduct lends to the setting. This is what I would class as a hidden gem. Well worth a visit. Entrance fee is £5 for adults.
