Escape to the enchanting world of Exbury Gardens in Hampshire, a horticultural haven brimming with breathtaking beauty. Spanning 200 acres, this magnificent estate is renowned for its world-famous collection of rhododendrons, azaleas, and camellias, which erupt in a spectacular display of colour, particularly vibrant in spring and early summer.<\/p>\n

Meander along tranquil woodland paths, discover hidden glades, or hop aboard the charming Exbury Steam Railway for a leisurely journey through parts of the gardens only accessible by train. Getting here without a car is part of the adventure; during the warmer months, the New Forest Tour Bus (green route) offers a delightful open-top journey, stopping right at the gardens and providing picturesque views of the surrounding national park. For a truly serene day out, immerse yourself in nature’s artistry at this remarkable Hampshire gem.<\/p>\n","expressive-title":"Exbury Gardens","map":{"address":"Exbury Gardens & Steam Railway, Exbury, Southampton SO45 1AF, UK","lat":50.8030336,"lng":-1.3998311,"zoom":5,"place_id":"ChIJt2Hgow2Gc0gRHcqRsNtNE0w","city":"Southampton","state":"England","country":"United Kingdom","country_short":"GB"},"image":{"ID":815,"id":815,"title":"Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury,_England_-_DSC03773","filename":"Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled.jpg","filesize":"923593","url":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/destinations\/uk\/england\/hampshire\/exbury-gardens\/exbury_gardens_-_exbury_england_-_dsc03773\/","alt":"","author":"2","description":"","caption":"","name":"exbury_gardens_-_exbury_england_-_dsc03773","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":5025,"date":"2019-07-08 20:38:32","modified":"2025-06-16 17:40:37","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1707,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled-180x180.jpg","thumbnail-width":180,"thumbnail-height":180,"medium":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled-760x507.jpg","medium-width":760,"medium-height":507,"medium_large":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled-1200x800.jpg","medium_large-width":1200,"medium_large-height":800,"large":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled-2000x1334.jpg","large-width":1200,"large-height":800,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled-1536x1024.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled-2048x1366.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1366,"scenic__hero--desktop":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled-1400x550.jpg","scenic__hero--desktop-width":1400,"scenic__hero--desktop-height":550,"scenic__hero--medium":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled-950x550.jpg","scenic__hero--medium-width":950,"scenic__hero--medium-height":550,"scenic__gallery--l":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled-750x500.jpg","scenic__gallery--l-width":750,"scenic__gallery--l-height":500,"scenic__gallery--m":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled-372x248.jpg","scenic__gallery--m-width":372,"scenic__gallery--m-height":248,"scenic__gallery--s":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled-246x164.jpg","scenic__gallery--s-width":246,"scenic__gallery--s-height":164,"scenic__location":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled-400x300.jpg","scenic__location-width":400,"scenic__location-height":300,"scenic__route":"https:\/\/scenicbuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Exbury_Gardens_-_Exbury_England_-_DSC03773-scaled-500x500.jpg","scenic__route-width":500,"scenic__route-height":500}},"gallery":false,"duplication--copied":true,"subtitle":"Escape to the enchanting world of Exbury Gardens in Hampshire, a floral paradise brimming with breathtaking beauty.","admin-ai-notes":"Content length is ideal for a medium-importance attraction (100-150 words).
