Bennetts Water Gardens

Water-lily gardens near Weymouth, set around ponds on the edge of the Fleet lagoon landscape.

Bennetts Water Gardens are a gentle change of pace from Weymouth's beach and harbour. The gardens are built around ponds, paths, and water lilies, with the best colour usually coming in the warmer months when the flowers are at their strongest.

It is a seasonal, slow attraction, so do not rush it or visit expecting drama. Go for reflections, lilies, and a quieter Dorset afternoon, especially if you have already done the fort, seafront, and Chesil Beach.
