An enchanting woodland garden, Ray Wood holds an impressive collection of plants from around the globe. With nearly 800 species of Rhododendron as well as glades of Pieris, wild roses, magnolias, hydrangeas, viburnums, maples and rowans, Ray Wood is a stunning maze of colourful displays.

Such a large and varied collection means that there is normally something of interest all year round. However, make sure to pay us a visit in spring when the rhododendrons begin to flower; it’s a colourful spectacle that must be seen to be believed!
