When it comes to spectacular gardens, Cheshire can boast some of the finest examples in the world.
Our lush county has more gardens open to the public per head of population than anywhere else in the UK. Many are of international importance; others are modest or even tiny expressions of someone's urge to create a beautiful corner of the landscape. Whether part of an historic estate or simply colourful attractions in their own right, these magnificent bouquets attract thousands of visitors every year.
In 2008, Cheshire will be launching a very special programme of events to share with people of all ages the joys of our Gardens of Distinction. Our year-long celebration will encourage visitors to explore not only the gardens, but garden-related activities, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Cheshire is not only a feast for the eyes; Cheshire is the home of some of the UK's finest speciality foods, many served up in some of the county's most beautiful historic settings. 2008 is just the start of an annual programme to promote, develop and share our rich cultural heritage.
Whether you are visiting Cheshire for a short break or just for the day, fabulous sights and magnificent scents will be waiting to greet you. No matter what time of year you visit Cheshire, you will be treated to a dazzling display of horticultural delights.
