Frequently asked questions

Which are the best gardens to visit in the UK?
We list 1,926 gardens. The Royal Horticultural Society runs five flagship gardens (Wisley, Rosemoor, Hyde Hall, Harlow Carr, Bridgewater); the National Trust cares for some of the finest historic gardens in the world, from Sissinghurst to Stourhead. Britain's garden season peaks from April bluebells to autumn colour.
Are these places free to visit?
Many places in the guide are free to enter — almost every national museum, every public park and garden, every parish church and cathedral. Castles, historic houses and theme parks usually charge admission; National Trust and English Heritage members visit those properties free.
Where does the data come from?
Every entry is built from open data: OpenStreetMap (locations, tags, opening hours), Wikipedia (descriptions), Wikidata (structured facts and operator information), Wikimedia Commons (images), ONS open data (population). The site never makes runtime API calls — everything is fetched at build time and committed.
How often is this updated?
A weekly automated job re-fetches the upstream sources and rebuilds the site. Manual editorial corrections are applied as overlays on top of the open data.
