Brief description
This garden is set around a 16th century hall (this is not open to the public as it is a private family home) but the 4 acres of gardens which were 2019's Regional Winner for The Nation's Favourite Garden welcome visitors. The garden is said to incorporate aspects of modern gardening while also keeping to the timeless "English garden look." There is also a tearoom for visitors to enjoy.
