Compton Acres, UK: A lesser known yet equally impressive garden is Compton Acres, in Dorset, United Kingdom. Founded by a wealthy margarine manufacturer in 1920, these award-winning gardens extend over 10 acres. There are 5 main themed gardens, with something to see in all seasons. The Rock & Water Garden is one of the largest rock gardens in England. In the Italian Garden, the Wrestlers of Herculaneum statues flank a picturesque lily pond. There are two gift shops within the grounds of Compton Acres, as well as several places to eat.
