Take a virtual tour of Ripon's Himalayan Garden and Sculpture Park, which is blooming even though it is closed to the public.

Peter and Caroline Roberts originally bought the property in 1996, as a privately owned 20-acre woodland garden, which has now been extended to 45 acres.

The garden's believe they have the north’s largest collection of rhododendrons, azaleas, and magnolias with nearly 20,000 plants

Winner of Yorkshire in Bloom Tourist Attraction Award for 2018 and 2019, and Best Business Award 2019, the park is also home to over 80 Contemporary Sculptures.

There isn't any music in the video because the birdsong is all it needs.
