Located just south of Nantwich and set within 64 acres, Stapeley Water Gardens makes a great day out. It has become the world's leading and largest water garden centre and is a delight to wander around. The ponds and the small lake here are filled with a an enormous variety of water lillies which bloom at their best during the summer months. A range of water fountains accompany them. Everything you could possibly need for your own garden can be found here and experts are on hand to assist.

The Palms is an indoor tropical oasis with exotic flowers, lush foliage and stately palms. Catfish lurk beneath the leaves of the Giant Amazon Water Lily and Giant Gouramis swim amid the coral reef, whilst, in the Zoo Room you will find macaws, tarantulas and Tamarins. There is a changing exhibition of photographs, paintings and poster graphics on wildlife and nature to be enjoyed, alnog with video and slide shows.

Stapeley is also a paradise for anglers with a vast selection of rods, poles, seatboxes and indeed everything the fisherman could want.

The garden centre is full of products for the home and garden but be sure to visit the 'Idea Display Garden' created in conjunction with Garden Answers magazine. In addition there are a further two gift shops and a superb restaurant.
