The Coombe Wood Gardens are divided into a series of rooms which together give an all-year-round display of shrubs and plants set against a woodland backdrop.

Bourdieu already owned The Coombe Estate, including Coombe Lodge, House and Farm which amounted to approximately 251 acres (102 ha) altogether.

The Vanguard Way (long-distance footpath) also passes by the woods and garden.

Note: There are many other Coombe Woods all over the United Kingdom (including Benfleet, Essex).
