Get On Board: Brighton & Hove Buses

Wakehurst Place

This lovely location is known as ‘Kew’s Country Garden’. Open all year, it features an Elizabethan mansion set in over 500 acres of glorious gardens and woodland. 
The site also accommodates the modern glass buildings of the international Millennium Seed Bank Project where there are fascinating displays about the weird and wonderful world of seeds! You may glimpse the scientists and botanists hard at work in this building, and indeed you will probably see many gardeners hard at work in the grounds. 
Facilities for visitors are good here, with tea rooms, toilets, a large gift shop, and a well-stocked plant shop to enable you to start your very own version of Kew Gardens at home!
There is a discount of £1 on admission for everyone travelling by bus to Wakehurst Place. The bus stops right at the entrance. Just show your bus ticket.
