Exbury Gardens
Exbury, Southampton SO45 1AZ

This earthly paradise offers a riot of colour in spring, an oasis of tranquility in summer followed by a splendid show as the leaves change in the autumn. Discover Exbury’s hidden beauty and escape the cares of the world as you explore a myriad of pathways.
Look out for during your visit; It’s always worth a look at the spectacular and amazing Wiggly tree (Platanus orientalis) with its huge trunk and sprawling branches. It was planted circa 1730 around the same time as the enormous Lebanon Cedar (Cedrus libani) in the Home Wood Glade.
