Tropical rain forest

Imagine discovering a lost garden with tunnels and underground grottoes buried under thousands
of tonnes of soil for over 50 years.
That’s what happened at
Dewstow gardens.
Built around 1895 the gardens were buried just after World War Two and rediscovered in 2000.
The gardens contain many ponds and rills but interestingly a labyrinth of underground grottoes, tunnels and sunken ferneries.
The rock gardens are made up
of a mixture of real stone and
faced stone using various
types of Pulhamite.
