About Compton Acres

Compton Acres is one of England's finest ornamental gardens, set across more than 10 sweeping acres in Canford Cliffs, Poole, just a short drive from Bournemouth. Created in 1920 and inspired by travels around the world, the gardens were designed as a series of distinct themed landscapes, each with its own character, planting style, and atmosphere. Today they remain one of the South Coast's most visited attractions and a genuinely beautiful day out for families, couples, and garden enthusiasts alike.

Five Worlds in One Garden
Five beautifully distinct themed gardens across 10 acres, each with its own character and planting style, connected by an easy circular walking route that's simple to navigate for all ages.
Great Value for Families
Children aged 4 and under enter free, and a family ticket for two adults and up to three children costs just £23.95, with free parking on site included.
More Than Just Gardens
Beyond the gardens, there's a café serving cream teas and lunch, a plant centre, gift shops, and an award-winning events venue, making it easy to spend a full afternoon here.
