Gardens to Visit in the East Midlands of England

Map of Counties | Tourist Boards | Featured Sites | Holidays | Home

Visit England and discover a country of great contrast and diversity both in the places you go to and in the people you meet. All the regions of England are within easy reach of the exciting capital city, London, famed for first class culture, fascinating history and pageantry, its world-class restaurants and theatre.

Venture across the dramatic landscape of the Peak District National park or the rolling Lincolnshire Wolds. Look skywards to catch a glimpse of the exhilarating Red Arrows practising in their homeland skies, then go underground to hear the echoes in deep caverns and caves. Prefer to live it up? Make for historic Lincoln, Nottingham, Derby or Leicester where fine Asian cuisine is spicily sumptuous. Seek out traditional local fare too - delicious cheeses, gingerbread and the famous Melton Mowbray pork pies. (copy courtesy of Visit Britain)

The National Trust

At a National Trust garden or park you can leave the stresses of the outside world at the gate. Inside, you'll be seduced by scent and dazzled by colour, and children will find a place of adventure. Take in beautiful views, go for walks and relax by water. A delightful range of holiday cottages is also available for a week's break this summer, ideal for exploring beautiful areas of Wales.

Cottage Selection

Cottage Selection offer a choice of over 15,000 cottages, gites, villas and apartments across the UK, France & Ireland. All properties can be view and booked online. Whether you are looking for a romantic cottage for 2, or a grand country house for 30, for a weekend break with friends or a family summer holiday, they have the biggest choice. Booking your holiday cottage is easy. Once you have chosen your cottage from the wide selection, you can view live availability & prices, and complete the whole booking securely online.

The AA

As the UK's largest breakdown organisation, the AA fix more breakdowns by the roadside than anyone else. No one has as many dedicated patrols and there is no charge for labour at the roadside, no matter how long this takes. On average they arrive in around 40 minutes of your call.
