A very grand garden to visit in a peaceful location. Perfect for a relaxing day out. There is a cafe if you would like to have lunch there too.

Enchanting

An enchanting, romantic setting. The cluster of sandstone buildings glow a beautiful golden hue in the sun. The gardens are a delight to explore, with grottos, fountains, stone animals and secret paths to investigate.
