Parks & gardens

Cheshire has more gardens per head of the population than anywhere else in the UK and East Cheshire has its fair share of those gardens.

Cheshire's Year of Gardens 2008, an exciting year-long festival, is a programme to cherish, enhance and inspire, and to bring to a wider audience the joys of our garden, of all types and sizes, and the people who make them so distinctive.

Find out more about special tours, events and activities at these and many other gardens throughout Cheshire at www.visitcheshire.com/site/year-of-gardens
