Biddulph Grange Garden
Recommended by
Overview
You can take a journey around the world in this amazing hillside Victorian garden, created by James Bateman for his worldwide collection of plants. Discrete planting areas take you on a global journey from classical Italy to the pyramids of Egypt; a Victorian vision of China, and a re-creation of a Himalayan glen. The garden also features collections of rhododendrons, summer bedding displays, a dahlia walk (stunning in late summer), and the oldest surviving golden larch in Britain, brought from China in the 1850s. In the recently restored Geological Gallery you can see how Bateman tried to reconcile geology and theology, and travel back through time as the chronologically arranged geological specimens attempt to depict the creation story.
