Guest blog: Canonteign Falls awarded RHS Partner Garden Status

Canonteign Falls is delighted to announce its inclusion in the prestigious RHS Partner Garden scheme, joining over 230 stunning gardens across the UK. This recognition highlights Canonteign Falls as a must-visit destination for nature and garden enthusiasts alike. 

Nestled in the heart of Devon, Canonteign Falls offers an unforgettable escape into nature. Visitors can explore cascading waterfalls, ancient bluebell woodlands, and the remarkable Victorian Fern Garden. Tucked into a hanging valley beneath the towering Lady Exmouth Falls, this unique garden thrives in a microclimate ideal for its beautiful fern collection. Highlights include majestic tree ferns (Dicksonia antarctica) and two Plant Heritage National Collections of Polystichum and Dryopteris hardy ferns, a stunning testament to botanical beauty and historical restoration. 

Lady Exmouth Falls, at 70 metres high, is England’s tallest single-drop waterfall and a dramatic focal point of the 90-acre estate, which also features  woodlands, lakes, and open meadows. Complete your visit with a stop at the charming Canonteign Kitchen and farm shop, and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of one of Devon’s most picturesque destinations. 

The RHS Partner Garden scheme provides members with the opportunity to explore a diverse range of independent gardens. As a Partner Garden, Canonteign Falls is proud to support the charitable work of the RHS and will offer free entry to RHS members throughout the 2025 open season, from 24th March to 2nd November 2nd 2025.
