Lovely grounds with very enjoyable train which also very useful for lesser mobile visitors to see al on offer. Good cafeteria at more reasonable prices than many local eateries and pubs. Also very interesting countryside museum. All ages seemed very happy for a good day out

Lovely amazing gardens

Lovely impressive gardens, amazing range of flowers/plants. The glass houses are outstanding. Been there several times at different times of the year always something new to see. Restaurant has good range of food. Gift shop well set out with great range of things, always come back with something for my garden. Great range of plants to buy too. Everywhere clean and tidy and well kept, credit to the team who work here.

Bicton Park Gardens

We have visited the gardens several times now and there is much to enjoy whatever the season, from the glory of these majestic peaceful gardens on shimmering sunny days to frosty winter visits to Santa's Grotto. Our experience and that of our guests has always been extremely enjoyable, whether accompanied by the more seasoned or the youngest of our relatives. There is lots to see with the 18inch guage railway a must, the glasshouses and the lovely agriculural museum. If you plan to visit more than once then the annual membership is worth considering, as it also provides you with free access to Morwellham Quay and 5% discount in the shop and restuartant.

Glorious Glasshouses

The glasshouses are very impressive. You will find many rare palms in the beautiful 19th Century Palm House, while the Arid House contains weird and wonderful cacti and the lush Tropical House abounds with exotic blooms. There is certainly lots to see here.
