RHS Garden Rosemoor

RHS Garden Rosemoor is a large garden near Great Torrington with sections for roses, trees, herbs, fruit, and vegetables. The grounds include woodland areas for walking and several buildings for visitors, including a visitor center and restaurant.

Lady Anne Berry founded the garden in 1959 with a small area that grew and developed over many years. In 1988, she handed it to the Royal Horticultural Society, which has cared for and expanded it since then.

The garden's name comes from its rose heritage, and it draws visitors seeking hands-on learning about plants and gardening methods. Regular classes and demonstrations throughout the year help people develop their own gardening skills and plant knowledge.

The garden is easy to explore on foot, with paths suited to different walking speeds and rest areas along the way. An on-site shop sells plants and gardening supplies, and there are several places to eat and drink throughout the grounds.

The River Torridge forms the western border and creates a natural setting that invites exploration beyond the garden beds. The surrounding woodlands are woven into the visitor experience, offering paths that extend beyond the cultivated areas.
