Have a couple of hours to spare? Then make a trip to Maymont to see the great house tour and make time to stroll through the gardens. The Japanese Garden is beautiful and tranquil and is a favorite of ours.

This is a beautiful park to walk through. The KOI garden is very peaceful and serene. The walk back up the hill can be strenuous if you are not used to walking.
