Welcome to Dewstow Gardens – a great day out for all the family !
Imagine discovering a lost garden with tunnels and underground grottoes buried under thousands
of tonnes of soil for over 50 years. That’s what happened at Dewstow gardens.
Built around 1895 the gardens were buried just after World War Two and rediscovered in 2000.
The gardens contain many ponds and rills but interestingly a labyrinth of underground grottoes, tunnels and sunken ferneries. The rock gardens are made up of a mixture of real stone and faced stone using various types of Pulhamite.
