But there are plenty of 2-for-1 gardens open this winter, whether you're looking to visit an old favourite or discover somewhere new.

Hide from the elements and keep yourself warm in glasshouses at Kew Gardens, University of Bristol Botanic Gardens or Durham University Botanic Gardens. Enjoy a walk along the lake's edge on a bright winters day at Painshill, to see the romantic ruins of the abbey reflected in the water. Listen to leaves crunch underfoot and let your dog explore on a woodland walk through Gibside or Goodnestone Park Gardens.

No chilly winters walk would be complete without a warm drink and a slice of cake so make sure you're visiting the tearoom to round off the day.
