Award-winning Norfolk rose gardens with 'hidden gem' park is a 'lovely day out'
Award-winning rose gardens have been praised online as a place to add to your "weekend list." The venue, tucked away in Norwich, Norfolk, has drawn attention online due to its picturesque views.
Peter Beales Roses, in Norwich, has been dubbed a "hidden gem" by fans on TikTok, who praised the rose gardens specifically. That will come as no surprise to many as Peter Beales is renowned for being home to the largest variety of roses in the UK and having 29 RHS Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medals to its name.
TikTok user Shauna (@ilyxshaun) shared a clip showcasing the venue on a recent trip. Her caption read: "One for your weekend list."
In the video, Shauna walks through the venue and shows viewers the entrance, the indoor shop selling produce, meets, handmade jewellery, the cafe, and the garden shop. She then moves on to the rose gardens, which she claims are "nice to stroll around on a warm day."
In her voiceover, Shauna said: "This award-winning spot in Attleborough might just be Norfolk's best kept summer day out. It's known for its beautiful rose gardens, but there's a lot more you can do here.
"Inside. They've got a shop with lots of local produce like jams, chutneys, fresh meats, even handmade jewellery. They also have a cafe for brunch and afternoon tea.
"Plus you can sit outside when the weather's warm, which is a bonus. There's a garden section with indoor plants, tools and just all the little bits that you didn't know you even needed.
"But the best part, without a doubt, is the rose gardens. There were rose bushes everywhere, little archways to wander through and so many pretty corners. It's so nice to stroll around on a warm day. Peter Bales is ideal for when you don't have plans but want something cute and wholesome to do."
Beneath the video, others praised the venue and shared their favourite things about it too. One viewer said: "such a lovely day out" and a second wrote: "looks lovely."
A third added: "When I last went there was a little hidden play park too for children we had to follow signs and it was very hidden but very cute."
A different person said: "Yep there's a children's play area right at the back and a little nature walk." The praise continued, with one viewer writing: "I love visiting here solely for the rose gardens!" and another adding: "Love it here. The rose festival is fab!"
According to Peter Beales, the rose gardens allow visitors to "escape to a world of beauty and tranquillity", where "nature's artistry meets timeless elegance." The venue's website adds that the gardens are the perfect place to "lose yourself in a sensory paradise."
The rose gardens feature rose-covered archways and walkways draped in vibrant blooms, a "stunning" observation turret offering panoramic garden views, a "serene" wildlife garden buzzing with biodiversity, and display gardens with "intoxicating perfumes and seasonal colour."
Peter Beales Roses is based around half a mile off the A11 in Attleborough, Norfolk. The venue features free parking, wheelchair access, toilets, and baby-changing facilities. Entrance to the rose gardens, which is open seven days a week, year-round, is free.

Writing against the black backdrop, Olivia, 34, penned: 'That's why we pay through the nose for private security. 'On sight in 2 minutes with dog team & the incredible nw police force not far behind.' She continued: 'We saw your faces, we have your foot prints & finger prints. & sorry what you were looking for isn't actually kept at the property.' Now, the Love Island star has appeared in a TikTok video, and shared more details about what happened. She shared a look inside her busy day, and then while sat in the back of a cab Olivia said: 'So obviously I can't go into too much detail because it's an open investigation now. 'But some scumbags basically smashed a second floor window, went in and the security team got the notification within like 30 seconds and they were there within two minutes with dogs.' Olivia added: 'The little scumbags ran off. They got some stuff but they didn't get what they came for, and now I have to just show face because it's a really important work day and I'm feeling a bit tired and a little bit emosh, but yeah, brave face.' The star was seen crying in one clip during her busy day, which saw her go from one appointment to another, and falling asleep in the back of a taxi. Olivia Attwood reveals she's landed huge ITV role on This Morning after Loose Women success It comes after the Love Island star turned TV presenter justified her inclusion in This Morning's line-up of summer presenters, saying: "I've put the hard work in". The Love Island favourite, who has built a successful career fronting documentaries and as a Loose Women panellist, is one of a number of stars filling in for regular hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard over the summer break. Though she's not the first reality star to host the show, with fellow summer star and X Factor icon Rylan Clark having already proven a dab hand on the set, Olivia's villa background hasn't gone down well with some traditionalists who have gone so far as to say they'll "definitely stop watching'. But Olivia, 34, is confident in her abilities and feels she's earned her stripes to become ITV's new golden girl. She exclusively told The Sun: "Those who know me understand the hard work I've put in to get where I am today. "I'm forever grateful to Love Island for being the springboard to my career, but I'm excited to show there's so much more to me beyond the villa." She continued: "It's been a lot of hard work, but I've always stayed focused on my goals and believed in myself and I'm very thankful for ITV in believing me." As someone who grew up watching the show as a child, she knows what it's about and the position it has in the national consciousness. She said: "When I got the gig, I was over the moon! I grew up watching the show, and to be a part of it feels like such a huge achievement!"

'I turn 44 today and look younger than teenage daughter who is ageing worse than me'
EXCLUSIVE: Carla Bellucci turns 44 today and the former glamour model sensationally claimed that she looks even younger than her 20-year-old daughter as she shared her anti-ageing secrets 'Britain's most hated woman' Carla Bellucci is celebrating her 44th birthday today – and she claims she looks younger than her daughter. The outspoken influencer and former glamour model is going to Barcelona with her husband this weekend to mark the occasion. And speaking to the Mirror, Carla said: 'People are shocked when I say I'm turning 44! I have had young girls ask me how that is possible and saying I look better than them. Young guys always say I look 30. I feel great and I look younger than my daughter Tanisha.' Tanisha, 19, has followed in the modelling footsteps of her mum who has spent £40,000 on plastic surgeries over the years. This includes breast implants, veneers, Botox and an eye lift every few months. But it does not include the free nose job she blagged on the NHS by faking depression, which earned her the unflattering 'most hated' title on This Morning. But despite spending big on her appearance, Carla, based in Hitchin, Herts, credited her youthful looks to additional reasons. Explaining her secret, she said: 'It is a stress free life, putting myself first and not worrying about anything. Not having a regular 9-5 and working for myself, having no boss and travelling the world ten times a year keeps you fresh.' Other examples of putting herself first include a massage every two weeks, hiring a cleaner to do house work, regular shopping trips, a coffee trip daily and never cooking at weekends. She also said being in a healthy marriage contributed to her stress free life – but she fears her daughter and other young people need to do more to achieve being as confident as she is when they are in their 40s. Explaining what she meant, Carla said: 'Tanisha needs to stop stressing and over thinking and to stop worrying about what anyone thinks of her. She needs to live her life and stop scrolling 24/7 watching other people on TikTok. 'I see 20-year-olds and they look 40 already and it is so scary and it is us oldies who are looking younger than them. 'The younger generation spends all their time on socials frowning as they scroll and they cause unnecessary complications in their dating lives and they worry constantly about other people and they always compare everything they do.' The mum-of-four, who is not spending time with her eldest kids on her birthday to avoid stress, said she was trying to advise her daughter on how to maintain her beauty over the decades. And Carla, who is hoping to be showered in gifts for her birthday, joked: 'If Tanisha carries on like she is, by the time she is my age she will look like a 70-year-old pensioner! These young girls need to step it up. 'Why are the mums hotter than their daughters?'
