Overbeck’s Garden
Discover a subtropical paradise in South Devon. Meander walkways that zig zag through a world of plants, packed full of horticultural treasures from every climatic zone. Exotic plants from around the globe flourish in this seaside microclimate, terraced into the cliffside overlooking Salcombe estuary.
Sea views
Find a quiet seat and take in glimpses of aquamarine waters and Salcombe boats below through towering subtropical palms. High in the upper terraces, discover well-earned panoramic views from the aromatic Gazebo garden and the Olive Grove.
Listen to the sounds of the 19th century from our giant polyphon music box. Dating from the 1870s, it is played in the cactus conservatory every week on Thursdays and Sundays at 12pm and 2pm.
Coast and countryside
Explore walking routes through the National Trust landscape at Salcombe with splendid views of coastline and countryside. Overbeck’s Garden is 1.2 miles from East Soar National Trust car park, and is within easy reach of the South West Coast Path at Sharpitor.
| Sunday-Thursday, 10.30am - 4pm (17 Mar 2024 - 31 Oct 2024) |
