American Museum Gardens

Having taken up photography (amateur) after literally a 50 year gap I decided to visit the Museum gardens purely to get images of the garden. The price of entry for the garden only was £7.50, not a lot in this day and age, I think that is excellent value. The gardens are quite small but as they say beautifully formed. I know many older people who are slow on their feet will view this as a real advantage, they can get round it easily. The house is lovely and sits just right in the grounds, everything is well balanced. Both upper and lower gardens are really well kept, the planting is lovely, with an abundance of colour. I loved the purple and yellows (Verbena and Verbascum I think).The gardens have the advantage of spectacular views over Claverham. All the staff are brilliant and they don 't make you feel like a numpty if you ask silly questions. I hope the attached images have done it justice. In summary this is an absolutely lovely garden, God bless America . .

We visited the light show here as part of our family trip to Bath and was thoroughly impressed with what the organisers had put on. There was ample on site parking with attendants to guide the way. The onsite café offered a good range of delicious food. The walk itself (while muddy so take your wellies) was wonderful with an amazing array of colourful displays. All of the outside areas were zoned really well and offered something unique and different. It was a lovely walk which was enjoyed by everyone. All the staff we met were friendly, helpful and not at all phased by the drizzle and coldness.

What a special place to visit for all the family. Even with the weather being so unpredictable, there are plenty of spaces to escape the rain. (If you want to of course) and the views are breath taking. The staff were all lovely, professional and it was obvious that they love their job and, like us all, want to enjoy the day ahead. The grounds are magical and easy to access by those a little less mobile and use a pushchair. I highly recommend this museum, we are looking forward to our next visit at Christmas time. Don't miss your chance to explore X

I went for the Enchanted Garden of Lights. It was beautiful and different, however, more could have been done with the lights and shows as they usually do in the USA. This was a very basic version of light displays which might do for the UK but does not represent that in the USA. Kids would love the place and the fire pits and the food just outside the garden is incredibly amazing. They had the best donuts and people seemed to enjoy sitting around the fire.

Great time here, spent over four hours in the museum and quilt exhibition. Still didn't manage to see all of the gardens. The American heritage section was particularly well laid out and very interesting.
