After seeing the Brown Tourist Signpost, whilst en-route to our holiday, we had a delightful, unplanned visit to the beautiful Westbury Court Gardens. This immaculate National Trust property with a Lovely Dutch style water-garden is well worth a visit. There is a car park adjacent to the property.We were amazed to learn that there is only 1 full-time gardener and 2 part-time volunteers looking after this immaculate site - how do they do it? The vegetable patches and fruit trees are all well laid out, there is a huge 400+ year-old oak tree and plenty of relaxing picnic spots.There is only one toilet and no catering facilities; however there is a kiosk where drinks and snacks are available. This tranquil and inspiration garden is perfect for a picnic.

We visited this lovely floral water garden today taking advantage of the beautiful sunny morning. Everything is in immaculate order and a credit to the staff who work there.We were greeted by a very pleasant and friendly lady at the kiosk in the car park which serves as the pay desk. There is a lot to see and you can easily spend an hour or two depending on the weather and how many things are in bloom. I think June and July are good months for seeing gardens at their best with regards to having lots of flowers in bloom but I'm sure spring here would be a lovely sight to see as well, not that I have been in spring. Maybe you should visit and let us all know. I've never seen so many different species of flowers in a smallish environment before. Mustn't forget the rabbits and fish and a lovely picnic area although most of that was under cover of trees which is ideal on a very hot day but not so on a cooler one.Well worth a visit and although we are National Trust members if we hadnt been I would have been happy to have paid the entrance fee of £5.25 per adult for the visit.

As National Trust members we visited this gardens whilst in the area.This is a small garden but well cared for with a dutch theme, it has a very large tulip tree which was in full flower when we visited and there is also a 400 years old oak tree both share then same area. Parking area is very small but if full the NT people will point out an alternative place to park.

A great find - these are a small part of what was once an large estate with amazing water gardens and topiary. The Head gardener with part time help do an amazing job of keeping the essence of this place in trim. On our visit the Tulip tree was in full bloom - stunning.

A very peaceful place, although we were lucky as it wasn't too crowded when we were there. Lovely for picnics and good for a break on a journey, but unless local, not to make a special long trip for. Has a very impressive very old oak. No cafe, and only one toilet so be prepared for queues if busy.

The best surviving example of a Dutch Water Garden in England, this is a lovely spot to wander around for few hours. Due for 'redevelopment' (If you want to know what might have been built there look at the ugly care home next door.) it was saved by the National Trust who have carefully restored it to its former glory. Thank goodness they did!

This isn't a massive NT site when compared with most others but is still worth the trip; looking at old documents it would have been a vast place in olden days. A big bonus for some will be the fact that the site is completely flat like a billiard table and thus easy to get round. The gardens and lakes are beautifully laid out and the overall setting is great. It is a very peaceful site and is an ideal place - given the right weather - to take a picnic.. The fruit and flower gardens are interesting and pretty and are perfectly laid out and, in one area, stands an absolutely massive old oak tree that's about 400+ years old. Certainly worth a visit if you aren't too far away from it. Facilities on site are very limited though. Might be worth taking your own refreshments.

We visited as a group of friends staying at a music festival near by. Very lovely lady on the gate gave us wonderful tips on where to visit. The gardens were beautiful a d we were all taken about by the very old oak tree, and loved the bee nest. Thanks for the warning about this. We spent a leisurely 2 hours here and loved every minute. Thank you.

During a week of heavy rain we managed to find the perfect gap of sunny spells to visit this beautiful Dutch influenced gardens. Well worth an hour to stroll along the canals and enjoy the tailored lawns, trees, bushes and admire the array of apples grown.

Well worth visiting if you are into your gardens, un-usual lay out and history. All rears open and not massive so easy stroll
