OPENING: 10 – 5.00pm daily; last entry 3.30pm
A remarkable collaboration between Gertrude Jekyll and Sir Edwin Lutyens, and an earlier secret landscape garden laid out in the late C19th with 40 acres of lakes, temples, combes and woodlands. A carpet of snowdrops in the Rook Wood is followed by early daffodils and in the formal gardens, the fragrance of winter sweet (Chimonanthus praecox) fills the air around the Rotunda.
Homemade food and drink in the Stables Restaurant.
