Bennetts Water Gardens, Botanical garden in Weymouth, England.
Bennetts Water Gardens is an eight-acre botanical garden in Weymouth featuring numerous ponds filled with water lilies. Winding paths connect the water features through woodland areas and flower beds.
The gardens were established in 1959 as a dedicated space for cultivating and displaying water plants. The collection quickly became the National Plant Collection of Water Lilies for the United Kingdom.
A Japanese-style bridge connects different ponds and recalls the garden paintings of Claude Monet. Walking across it, you sense how water gardens have inspired artists for centuries.
The gardens operate on a cashless system, so bring a card or mobile payment option. Wheelchair access is limited, and paths can become difficult during wet weather.
Different water lily species bloom at different times and display colors ranging from white to deep red. Throughout spring and summer, visitors can watch these color changes unfold across the various ponds.
