Gorgeous surroundings and a lovely stop.
Adults tickets are £8. Coffee, cakes, sausage rolls and pasties available from the cafe.
Made our day! Highly recommended.
Once inside there is a large car park and everything is well signposted. Staff are really friendly and helpful and there is a useful map as without it we would have missed a large part of the gardens.
The paths take you through the grottoes and water gardens and they are very different and certainly aimed at making gardens fun for all the family. Our grand daughter loved the fairy houses and it really did get her imagination going.
After the grottoes there are the main gardens to explore with some lovely benches and viewing areas to take in the panorama and reflections. To finish off there is a cafe with lots of picnic tables and lovely cakes!
All in all we spent a lovely couple of hours wandering round at our own pace. The entrance cost was decent and when we arrived there were only two other families there although it was certainly busier when we left. A unique set of buildings that deserves more awareness and promotion.
The garden has a lot to offer, there are grottos filled with ferns and exotic plants, with streams, cascades and fountains full of fishes, there are also lots of paths around the ponds, a surprises for visitors, in the form of garden architecture, at every corner. The vegetation is diverse, brought from many parts of the world.
As for practical information, it is worth adding that there is a tea room, toilet and free car park on site.
The access road is well marked with brown signs with a flower.
