Leeds Castle

2-for-1 Gardens saving: £35

The historic gardens at Leeds Castle provide interest year round. The south-facing Lady Baillie Mediterranean Garden Terraces have been designed to transport you to far-flung, sun-drenched climes. Sheltered by palms and firs and packed with sun-lovers, this garden is the perfect spot to take a seat and enjoy views out over the grand lake. Visit the cottage garden to find roses, lupins and poppies filling the walls of low box hedges with colour and fragrance. There is also a yew maze, an underworld grotto and knights’ stronghold adventure playground for kids. Keep an eye out for the diverse wildlife in the park, woodland and lake.

The Alnwick Garden

2 for 1 Saving: £16

The Alnwick Garden is an innovative and exciting contemporary garden. Spend a day at The Alnwick, walking between the Roses, the Ornamental Garden or the 326 cherry blossom trees. For something a little different, you can explore the Poison Garden and discover myths, legends and scientific facts about the plants many of us grow in our back garden. However, despite their impressive plant collections, it is water that is the lifeblood of this garden. With 120 jets and half-hourly water displays, the Grand Cascade is the largest water feature of its kind in the country.

Harewood House

2-for-1 Gardens saving: up to £18

Enjoy exploring over 120 acres of gardens and Capability Brown landscape at Harewood House. Designed by Sir Charles Barry, best known as the architect of the Houses of Parliament, with views out over the Yorkshire countryside, the terrace at Harewood is a magnificent example of a Victorian formal garden. Look out for Mediterranean and tropical plants, such as yuccas and Mexican sunflowers, in the 100m archery border. In springtime, the open glades with views across the lake are alive with thousands of flowering daffodils. Bright rhododendrons and primulas flourish in the Himalayan border in early summer. Children can enjoy a visit to the adventure playground – complete with aerial walkways, slides and a 15m high tower.
