Lonely Planet review

Unwind in the zen-like tranquility of the Japanese Garden? Study the jaunty pose of Thomas Gainsborough's Blue Boy ? Linger over the well-thumbed pages of the Gutenberg Bible, the world's first printed book? It's hard to know where to start at this inspirational collection of botanical gardens, art and literature amassed by railroad magnate Henry E Huntington and displayed on his former estate.

Inspirational beauty deserves exquisite cuisine, so ponder your options over the beloved English tea and sandwich service at the Rose Garden Room (reservations recommended) just past the quote-filled flora of the Shakespeare Garden.
