Bennetts Water Gardens
The gardens were founded in 1959 in a former clay pit used by a brickworks. Here Norman Bennett carefully planted a collection of water lilies that has become one of the finest in the world. The site stretches to 8 acres of landscaped paths skirting peaceful lakes. Over 100 varieties of lilies are on display, and are at their best in the summer months. In addition to lilies there are a wide variety of pond and moisture loving plants on display and the garden is a haven for pond life. A museum traces the history of the village and the brickworks, and explores the transformation of the pits into the lovely garden we can see today. Bennetts, which is still run by the Bennett family, is the home of the National Water Lily Collection.
