The tour will also cover the history of a garden that has survived over 800 years, followed by a walk through Torre Abbey’s grounds and along the seafront, searching out the trees and plants that have made the English Riviera the horticultural paradise we know today.
Wander through the remains of a medieval monastery and see the landscape that’s developed around it.
Meander among the important and unusual glasshouse collections of tropical plants, palms, cacti and succulents
Admire the historic trees and plants that have thrived in the mild climate of the English Riviera
