Kew Gardens in London - always a delight and one of my favourite places.

Kew Gardens is a botanic garden in southwest London that houses the "largest and most diverse botanical and mycological collections in the world". It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is also a world-leading scientific research centre.Comprising an arboretum covering two thirds of the site (including trees nearing extinction and some hundreds of years old); colourful themed gardens; steamy glasshouses; Royal Palaces; follies; lakes and more, it is a place of both historical importance and contemporary cutting edge science and conservation.

This video captures a meander around on a very hot and sultry day in late August 2023. To cover the entire 300-acre site would take more than a day - we never visit it all when we go. So many paths to choose and things to see. And constantly changing with the seasons.
