Since moving into the property in 1990, the garden has been transformed by owner Tim Wilmot from what was once a large patio, beech hedge and overgrown orchard, into a garden of largely sub-tropical and architectural planting. The garden has been completely designed, created and maintained by the owner.

Entrance is £3 per adult (children free), and there's delicious cream teas & cakes. All the money goes to worthy charities like Macmillan.

Beechwell House is 51 Goose Green, Yate, South Glos, BS37 5BL. and more information on www.beechwell.com.
