Set in a perfect little valley complete with a babbling brook and waterfalls. Find a quiet corner to enjoy the peace and tranquility in the Tudor garden or use your nose to find the Circedephyllum grove - apparently their leaves are so full of sugars that they smell like caramel. Take a stroll through the azaleas, rhododenrons and copper beeches in the Victorian garden, meander by the ponds, or breathe in the fresh scented air of the pinetum. Tea and homemade cakes are available in the Old Billiard Room of the Gothic revival house but tours of the house are available only a handful of times throughout the year.

This a wonderful place for children to play and explore. There are 24 acres to immerse yourself in, with special trails and treasure hunts for children, which are fun for all the family to take part in and help everyone learn more about the gardens. If you just want to sit and soak up some nature, there are plenty of beautiful, tranquil scenes to enjoy - the azaleas are a feast for the eyes in hot pinks and magentas.
