Ness Botanic Gardens

There is something to see all year round at Ness Botanical Gardens and we are not just talking the Four Seasons Cafe with its homemade meals.

Set on the banks of the River Dee, with breathtaking views across to North Wales, these award-winning gardens boast an international reputation with flowers, shrubs and trees, in particular rhododendrons and azaleas and its national collection of sorbus.

The plants are the stars at Ness so is its Laburnum Arch and spectacular herbaceous borders.

With a bus stop right outside the front gate, Ness Gardens is easily accessible by public transport from the Merseyrail line that connects Liverpool with Chester and with its own local station in Neston.
