Woodland walks and beautiful rose garden. Picnic area beneath huge oak trees, an ancient chapel and walled kitchen garden. Lovely place

I didn't have much expectation for our visit here. It was a rainy afternoon end of April. Myself and my family (6&11). We got there and there was nobody to take the entry fee. £15 for our family of four. There was a sign saying that there was an honest box, so with some trepidation I pushed the money into the box. There was also a note to say that one of the garden trails was shut as there was storm damage that had blown down some trees. But still, what else do you do? There was only one other family there and they were on their way back, but certainly seemed to have enjoyed themselves. I really enjoyed the walk around. It was so very different. I felt I was in a very natural and somehow magnificently magically tumble down fading ancient alive wood. There was a gargeb, an old church, a house, even some ruins to complete the setting. We found a really small oak tree next to a fallen titan that was symbolic and just nice to find. There was enough for us as a family, though the closed off wild walk? would have been nice, I didn't feel aggrieved at not walking along it.

A very pleasant visit, peaceful, quiet, tranquil. Well worth investigating.

The woodland gardens were a disappointment
