| Queenly sequoia in The Great Dell |
 |
| The more traditional part of the gardens |
Visitors can easily miss The Great Dell during their explorations of Bath's Botanical Gardens, but it's one of my favourite spots. A little bit shady, a little bit damp, with dangerous muddy paths, the dell is the Prince Harry of the Royal gardens. Look up, look way up, at the grand sequoias holding court - it will give a tiny taste of life on the west coast of North America. I visit when I'm homesick and imagine I'm in a British Columbian forest.
Not the grimiest part of Bath, but an overlooked treasure.
