Explore all that Cascade Gardens has to offer the visitor
Visit Cascades Gardens for a great day out. We wanted to introduce you to a unique Garden, based at Bonsall, near Matlock. Of course there are glorious gardens galore to visit in the Peak District. Here we highlight our most recent trip.
It offers a wonderfully designed, peaceful garden retreat. Furthermore, It has four acres to explore in the historic village of Bonsall, near Matlock.
The owner built the garden over a 26 year period from an old limestone quarry and is now known as an RHS Partner Garden. Consequently the vista offers a range of streams, waterfalls, scenic woodlands, and a spectacular setting of cliffs to explore.

Visit Cascade Gardens’ Inspiration and its rooms
The design is inspired by Japanese gardens and a Buddhist philosophy. Most importantly the intention is to ‘refresh the soul and celebrate nature’.
The garden offers many ‘rooms’ with seats to sit and ponder. In other words it offers more quiet corners to encourage reflection and meditation.
Cascades provides ‘a sense of peace, stillness and energy. Accordingly, wherever you are in the garden you can hear the soothing sound of water for most of the year’.
Bonsai trees, refreshment areas and opening times
The owners can offer lots of friendly help and advice when buying Bonsai pots, tools and materials too.
The refreshment area offers tea, coffee, and homemade cakes for sale and with an entry fee for the garden of only £7 it can make for a very pleasant afternoon.
The garden is open every day except Wednesdays from 1st March to 30th September and opens from 10am until 4pm with last entry at 3pm.
We certainly found a calmness and serenity at Cascades Gardens and will definitely be visiting again soon. We would certainly recommend our guests visit Cascades for a great day out. To find out more simply visit their website here.
