Lukesland Gardens

A 24-acre garden described by 'The Good Gardens Guide' as "One of the finest of its type". In the spring, the arrays of rhododendrons, camellias and azaleas provide some of the "finest garden scenery in the region". The grounds are bisected by a clear stream off Dartmoor, which meanders through ponds and waterfalls and enables the visitor to explore the grounds amid great tranquillity. From 2006 also open in the Autumn for glorious colours.

Childrens' Trail available. Reduced entry if arriving by public transport / on foot.
