Summer in Surrey

Polesden Lacey 

The stunning Edwardian walled rose garden is a sight to behold in early summer. Later in the season the double herbaceous borders come into their own, in a riot of scented petals. Polesden Lacey's glorious double herbaceous border is at its best in July and August. Take inspiration from the kitchen garden and the cutting garden where flowers are grown for vases in the house.

Winkworth Arboretum 

Make the most of summer days and take a relaxing walk through shaded woodland at Winkworth Arboretum. This hillside masterpiece boasts 121 acres of exotic shrubs, trees and flowering herbaceous plants. Picnic by the lake or enjoy lunch in the new visitor centre café.

Rowes Flashe Lake at Winkworth Arboretum surrounded by lush greenery. Trees with various shades of green foliage are abundant, and the sky is partly cloudy with sunlight filtering through. The water reflects the surrounding trees and sky, creating a tranquil and picturesque scene.

Hatchlands Park 

Spanning 422 acres, the parkland at Hatchlands Park is a wonderful spot to enjoy the great outdoors. Discover wonderful walks, stop by the natural play area, and say hello to the resident donkeys. Or just take time out from a busy schedule to enjoy a breath of fresh air in lovely surroundings.
