Balmoral Estate
The gardens, which were started under the supervision of Prince Albert, have been expanded and improved by successive members of the Royal Family.
Between 1923 and 1925 Queen Mary devised the charming garden, with a semi-circular wall of rocks surrounding a fountain. The gates to this garden bear the monograms GR and MR.
The Duke of Edinburgh extended the gardens to incorporate a large kitchen garden, with the produce harvested and used for the Royal Family's summer holiday.
The formal gardens, covering some three acres, also contain a range of Victorian glasshouses and the conservatory, which displays flowering pot plants throughout the year. To the West of the main garden, in the trees between Garden Cottage and the West Drive, nestles the water garden.
The grounds and gardens are dog friendly but dogs must be kept on leads.
