Rosemoor, Devon

This is the perfect time of year to visit the gardens at Rosemoor, with two of the loveliest rose gardens you’re likely to see. It’s a great place for children too, with a family trail and play areas, and of course lots of room to run free and enjoy the orchards, woodlands and beautiful water features. They’ll be awed by the huge formal hedges, too! Pop the 23-24 April in your diary, as Rosemoor will be hosting the RHS National Rhododendron Show.

✱ Open daily, 10am-6pm, admission from £10.90; rhs.org.uk/gardens/ rosemoor
