Exbury Gardens and Steam Railway is a magical place
in the New Forest National Park
The Gardens are a spectacular 200 acre (100 hectare) site, world-famous for the Rothschild Collection of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and rare trees and shrubs. This earthly paradise offers a riot of colour in spring, an oasis of tranquility in summer followed by a splendid show as the leaves change in the autumn. Discover Exbury’s hidden beauty and escape the cares of the world as you explore a myriad of pathways. Let the train take the strain on a 20 minute journey or ride a chauffeur driven buggy to tour the Gardens.

- Mr Eddy’s Restaurant and Tearooms are open from 10am.
- The Gift Shop and Plant Centre are open between 10am and 5pm.
