A outing of friends to enjoy the snowdrops, early crocus and daffodils. A nice area to relax and enjoy nature. A compact site with good access. Especially liked the mistletoe.

We visited in winter and there was so much to see, much more than some gardens that we have visited that were boasting about winter colour. There are snowdrops everywhere! The greenhouses are probably the best cared for greenhouses I have ever seen, someone clearly loves them. We will be back in the summer! This is a great place to spend a couple of hours and you only have to pay £2.50 to park!
