The latest BBC Gardeners' World included Rachel de Thame visiting the National Trust's Coleton Fishacre garden, in Devon.
We have been visiting this garden for around thirty years, and it is glorious at every time of year. It was the holiday home of the D'Oyly Carte family, who promoted Gilbert & Sullivan operas, owned the Savoy Theatre, and Savoy Hotel.

There is a small restaurant, and usually plants for sale. If you are visiting Devon, consider it for your itinerary. Open 10.30 to 17.00, but NOT on Fridays.
What 'gems' are other MNers favourite gardens?
