Find out more 

Riverhill Himalayan Gardens, near Sevenoaks, Kent is bravely contemporary, yet steeped in history. The Rogers family have created a relaxed, friendly escape for garden lovers and families alike to enjoy.

There are over 12 acres of historic gardens to explore, punctuated with contemporary sculpture, as well as woodland paths, breathtaking views and plenty of benches for quiet moments. Expect the unexpected as you wander from the manicured perfection of our famous Walled Garden via our historic Rose Walk to the wild jungle, wood garden and spectacular Edwardian Rock Garden, carpeted with ferns.

We are a garden for all seasons so there is always something new to enjoy here. Be sure not to miss our carpets of bluebells and spectacular array of rhododendrons and azaleas in Spring, as well as incredible alliums and peonies in June, fragrant roses during the summer months and spectacular autumn colour in October.

The gardens capture children's sense of adventure and imagination, with den building in the woods and the adventure playground to explore as well as our fiendishly tricky hedge maze to solve. We also have our very own, much loved, Riverhill Yeti, who can be spotted helping to make dens in the Chestnut woods. (Weekends plus school holidays 2-4pm only)

Otto’s Café in the Gardens have a wonderful selection of freshly made  lunch options, including children’s picnic bags and their famous sausage rolls. There is always a tempting selection of homemade cakes and treats and their coffee is utterly amazing. Enjoy in the café or outside on our glorious sun terrace.

During school holidays and bank holiday weekends, Riverhill puts on some fantastic family events which are all FREE after entry to the Gardens.

Dogs on leads are always very welcome here.

Season tickets also available.
