Everything about Exbury Gardens totally explained
Exbury Gardens is a famous
garden in
Hampshire,
England, which belongs to a branch of the
Rothschild family. It is situated just to the East of
Beaulieu across the river from
Bucklers Hard. It is well signposted from Beaulieu and from the
A326 Southampton to
Fawley road in the
New Forest.
Exbury is a 200 acre informal woodland garden with very large collections of
rhododendrons,
azaleas and
camellias, and is often considered the finest garden of its type in the United Kingdom.
Lionel Nathan de Rothschild purchased the Exbury estate in 1919 and soon set to creating a garden on an ambitious scale. The infrastructure included a water tower, three large concrete lined ponds, and 22 miles of underground piping. Exbury is now open to the public for most of the year, with high seasons in the spring for the flowering shrubs and the autumn for the autumn colour.
Other features include the
hydrangea walk, the
rock garden, with its
black swans, the
sundial garden which follows an exotic planting, and a
camelia walk (which takes you to a path alongside Bealieu river and back via the pond).
The Rothschild's house at Exbury is a
neoclassical mansion which was built around an earlier structure in the 1920s. It isn't open to the public. In the north east corner of the gardens there's also the Exbury Steam Railway that goes on a journey across the pond in Summer Lane Garden, along the top of the rock gardens and into the American Garden.
