Garden Visit to Iron Acton and Tockington

Thursday, 28 April 2022 at 10:30 am - 4:00 pm

The Outings Group has arranged a self-drive trip to 3 gardens on Thursday 28th April, 2022. There are two adjoining gardens in Iron Acton and the third just 6 miles away in Tockington. All are about half an hour’s drive from Nailsea.

Algars Manor and Algars Mill in Iron Acton are both 2 acre woodland gardens bordering the river Frome with large collections of magnolias, camellias, rhododendrons, azaleas and other unusual trees and shrubs. There is also a vegetable patch in the Mill garden. The paths at Algar Manor can be a bit wet and slippery.

Stoneleigh Down in Tockington is a very different garden, south facing with an S-shaped lawn connecting themed areas densely planted with trees, shrubs and perennials for year round interest.

The charge for entry to the gardens, including the usual tea/coffee biscuits and cake is £18 per person.
