Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden  Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden

130 Acres of ancient Woodland with over 3 and half miles of paths. We have a tearoom, gift shop, bird hide, children's nature trail and plant sales area. We also have a programme of events all year round; details can be found on our website. In spring we have Skunk cabbage, Bluebells, primulas and wood anemones amongst others. Summer brings hydrangeas, philadelphus and many wild flowers. Migrant birds and other wildlife come to the garden in the autumn and there are many varieties of fungi and toadstools. A new edition for winter is our new winter garden in the dell which has introduced more winter flowering plants into the garden.
