Beautiful gardens, famous for Europe's finest display of hardy water lilies of which there are 80 varieties. Also Stewart collection of sporting trophies. Whether you are an enthusiast, or simply want to see beautiful water lilies in a natural setting, Burnby Hall Gardens is the place to be. The water lilies have been designated a ‘National Collection’ and more varieties can be seen here, in their natural habitat, than anywhere else in Europe. The best months in which to view the lilies in their full glory are July and August. While the water lilies are undeniably the Gardens’ most important feature, we should not forget the extensive range of ornamental trees, plants, shrubs, flowers, and the numerous fish and birds which thrive in this special habitat.
