garden, panoramic view
It was around 1920 that Thomas Simpson envisioned and devised this attractive 10 acre garden to illustrate different themed gardens. The beautiful garden styles include, Japanese, Egyptian, Italian, Indian, Canadian, Spanish and Scottish settings that contain flora and statuary specific to their national traits. The gardens are delightful to behold and give great views over Poole Harbour. The site also has a stylish villa for all occasions.
