The River Walk in Spring
Exbury Gardens, Hampshire and the Beaulieu River

We visited the fabulous River Walk in San Antonio, Texas, some years ago (and have wonderful memories) so we were delightfully surprised when we visited Exbury Gardens in Hampshire's New Forest and stumbled across a delightful walk by the same name. Join us, if you will, in a taste of the beauties of the famed Exbury Gardens - from the vistas of the River Walk, through the breathtaking gardens that sing with colour, to the unforgettable wisteria pagoda.
Above, seen through the trees that line the River Walk, small craft negotiate the lower reaches of the Beaulieu River
Above, the reed beds are the home of wading birds
Below, in the distance, beyond the trees, the hills of the Isle of Wight can just be seen.
At the main viewpoint on the River Walk is a plaque dedicated to all those who left the shores of the Beaulieu River and the nearby coast  in 1944, sailing to Normandy for the D Day Landings. 

Please follow the links to see the amazing gardens at Exbury - famous for breathtaking azaleas and rhododendrons
