Wakehurst is National Trust’s most visited attraction and I have come here to see for myself why. This place is a huge botanical garden with flora collected from all over the world from Himalayas to Korea. A walk round the place would take more than 2 hours over a hilly terrain. Fortunately, most of the highlights are located near the entrance. A seed bank is also established here in 2000 which would hopefully save some flora from extinction. Admission: Adults £10.75, Children (under 17) FREE
