London (PRWEB) June 23, 2005 - Check-out the top gardens in Britain and
Ireland on Armchair Travel's new online directory: Gardens-Guide.com - http://www.gardens-guide.com
Armchair Travel have
selected 450 of the best gardens in the UK and Ireland, and have compiled a
comprehensive website telling visitors everything they need to know about each
garden to ensure an enjoyable visit. For the first time, the history of the
garden, and the house associated with it, are given, along with a high-quality
picture of the garden.
A very detailed description of the garden, with
special or unusual features highlighted, is provided, along with county and
district maps and even recommendations as to where to stay, or have a meal
nearby, and the best time of the year to visit each garden. William Beckett,
Managing Director of Amrchair Travel, commented, "The information has proved so
useful that many garden owners have told us that they use our website to plan
visits to other great gardens around the country".
Armchair Travel have
also provided 360-degree panoramic views of some especially interesting gardens
all over the country from the late Queen Mother's estate at the Castle of Mey to
Powerscourt in Ireland and Wakehurst Place in Sussex, to name but a few. A
specially commissioned History of Gardening by Candida Lycett-Green, the
well-known gardening writer, complements the website and there are two-way links
to Crocus, the leading garden plants and supplies company.
Also included
on the website are editorials, an events calendar, a community bulletin board,
virtual tours listings, and extensive search facilities. Gardens are arranged in
several ways: alphabetically, by county, by regional maps, and directly via our
keyword search facility.
Gardens-guide.com provides more information and
pictures on the leading gardens in Britain and Ireland, including over 80 top
gardens of the National Trust, than any other website or book publication and is
