How beautiful is this Place! Oh my goodness what a find. A truly magnificent garden. Absolutely stunning at the moment with all the various spring plants and blossom. This is a must. Please support them and as a plus there is a lovely little cafe for a latte at the end of your visit. Enjoy!

Not the largest ornamental garden but very nicely kept. There is an interesting kitchen garden section, a lovely meadow area and a nice pond. A couple of smaller ponds near the boundary need some TLC, or filling in and planting. Staff in the visitor centre were very helpful. Free entry was most welcome, the parking charge less so. An hour and a half was plenty to see everything.
