Gardens are gorgeous!

Gardens are gorgeous! The Laburnum arch is definitely worth going to see when in full bloom. It has gentle slopes and for the majority is wheelchair friendly, there are a few steps here and there but it doesn't hinder your route. The cafe is a little pricey but the cakes are delicious!

Fabulous place to visit

Fabulous place to visit. The laburnum arch is simply beautiful as to are the azaleas and rhododendron. Really enjoyed browsing in the shop and there are lovely plants for sale. There's a good selection of food and drinks from the cafe with an outside terrace overlooking the gardens . Well worth a visit.

Beautiful gardens

Beautiful gardens. The laburnum arch wasn’t quite ready, but still fabulous. Can’t wait to visit again in a few days to see the summer flowers this time around.
