Stone Lane Gardens
Famous for its collections of birch and alder trees, Stone Lane Gardens is a five-acre arboretum in Dartmoor National Park. A mixture of shady woodland with streams and bogs where giant-leafed gunnera towers at 7ft, and grassy open slopes. The birch are a blaze of orange and yellow leaves in autumn. In winter, they reveal their smooth peeling bark in a range of soft pinks to earthy chocolate browns.
