A DAY OUT - GREAT GARDENS AND HOUSES TO VISIT IN NORTH DEVON 
 
National Trust   Plenty of options here as with  English Heritage 
RHS Rosemoor. Depressingly superb   —   web site 
Castle Hill Gardens  —  web site 
Tapely Park House and Gardens   —  web site 
Marwood Hill Gardens   —  web site 
Stone Lane Gardens .  A very special garden (one of our favourites) featuring birch and alder trees and in the summer months a wonderful collection of garden sculptures for sale.  It is only only open in the afternoons but you can visit Castle Drogo  (NT) in the morning and have a pleasant lunch at The Sandy Park Inn which is between the two near Chagford. 
National Garden Scheme (Devon) - web site 
Powderham Castle near Exeter - web site  
The Garden House at Buckland Monachorum - Just south of Tavistock this is another favourite along with lunch at the very pleasant 16thC Drake Manor Inn in the village. 
Finally, whilst not really a garden, Lydford Gorge is well worth visiting for an extraordinary walk. Good walking shoes or boots and required and you may expect to see 4 foot wide butterflies and unicorns around every corner. It is really quite magical. And if you like good food then The Dartmoor Inn on the main road to Tavistock is a another favourite.
