Welcome to Exbury

We are planning an exciting project... We want to transform our historic glasshouse and the surrounding Five Arrows Courtyard area into a vibrant Heritage Glasshouse Hub – a place where horticulture, art, education and wellbeing come together. Take our survey and tell us what you would like to see in the transformed, historic glasshouse. Take our survey.

With 200 acres of woodland, herbaceous and formal gardens to enjoy, there’s always something new to see at Exbury. And with a narrow-gauge steam railway, a play area, log trail and riverside walks to explore, there’s something for everyone.  Oh and we’re dog friendly too!

Autumn is a beautiful time at Exbury as the changing leaves provide a palette of stunning reds, oranges and yellows throughout the gardens. This year, following a long, hot summer, this display is shaping up to be even more spectacular.

 

Join us between now and 2nd November to find out why The Telegraph listed Exbury as one of their Top 10 gardens for autumn colour.
