[Lara McQue](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117405531989958601668/reviews) ★★★★★

Easily the most beautiful walled garden you’ll have seen. Lovely staff throughout the area. Map given at reception too where you can also buy chicken/duck feed (note: you can ONLY feed them the ready made stuff from reception). The cafe was lovely with various selections of food/drinks.

Very relaxing place,we spent a lot more time here than your normal walled garden, very well thought out especially seating to just sit in a beautiful spot, your not competing with others . We got 2 for 1 through gardeners world mag. Perfect, full price is too much personally speaking. Buy their 50 p bag of seed to feed the chickens

Lovely little garden to visit. If you're a resident of the area you can get a year's pass for just £10 which means 1 visit basically pays for it. The friendly ladies behind the desk renewed our passes for us despite the rude interruption of an elderly gentleman who felt he could push in before she'd finished with our passes. Despite this the ladies remained polite towards him & let him pay in the shop as he was in such a hurry. After this we enjoyed our walk around the garden. Some of the iris & allium were open & the rest won't be too far behind, likely the same with peonies & laburnum. The area around the orchard was beautiful. There were still a few tulips in bloom & we saw a few butterflies & birds whizzing around too. Popped into the cafe for a drink & cake before we left. Great place to visit if you have a spare hour or two & if you're a resident get a pass & then you can pop back regularly

Tickets are pricey but the garden is lovely. Some lovely open spaces for picnics. You can feed the chickens. Some sculptures. Very accessible.
