Bennett's Water Gardens
Lying about two miles out of Weymouth, Bennett's Water Gardens is a designated Site of Nature Conservation Interest. Spanning some eight acres, Bennett's Water Garden's were born in 1959 when Norman Bennett decided to grow Water Lilies in the abandoned clay pits of Chickerell Brickworks. A family endeavour, the gardens have been developed by Johnathon Bennett and now contain walks furnished with seating at scenic spots. On your visit, you'll be awed by the 150 varieties of water lilies to be found here including some that originated from the same nursery that supplied Monet. Attractions at Bennett's Water Garden's include a Tropical House, an Aquatic Centre, Family Nature Trail and a Plant Centre. You'll also be able to visit the on-site museum which covers the history of Chickerell village and the Chickerell Brickworks.Location
