Stowe, Buckinghamshire
This overgrown woodland site can be entered through an enchanting wooden door which is disguised in an old wall.
The National Trust said: “The Lamport Garden had been untouched for almost 200 years, until it was reopened in 2013.
“It’s more like an overgrown woodland or a wilderness, with huge gnarled trees, mossy areas, cascades and rock pools.”
For just a small fee, you can spend the day unravelling endless layers of history as you walk through the stunning grounds.
A family can visit this fairytale site for just £32.50, with extra adults paying £13, and just £6.50 for extra children.
Wallington, Northumberland
The garden at Wallington in Northumberland is an unexpected gem, tucked away at the edge of the woods behind Neptune’s Gate.
Surrounded by a high wall, the large site is full of surprises, and will take a full day to explore the site.
The National Trust said: “You can’t see it all in one go, and it seems to unfold as you walk through it.”
