点评:Magnificent gardens - a credit to the small team of gardeners who do a fantastic job of keeping these gardens looking fabulous. We had a lovely chat with Colin one of the gardeners who was very friendly and informative. We visited on Saturday afternoon and we were the only people there. I don't know how it isn't more popular as the gardens are far superior to many other large stately homes nearby and the entrance fee is only £6. Maybe it's because there is no cafe on site although there is a shed with hot drinks and a fridge full of cold drinks with an honesty box. There is also a lovely cafe at the small garden centre only 500 yards down the road which you can visit on the way there or back.
There are lots of seats dotted around to admire the views and clean toilets in the car park. There are quite a few steps up and down but that is the nature of the landscape and the views are spectacular down towards the river. There are beautiful trees of all colours and immaculately trimmed hedges, lawns and borders of pretty flowers and shrubs all labeled so you know what they are. The house is closed now for the season but I would recommend anyone in the area to pay a visit to these lovely gardens, you will be impressed, it's well worth it.

周围有很多座位可以欣赏美景,停车场有干净的厕所。上下台阶很多,但这就是景观的本质,河边的景色非常壮观。这里有各种颜色的美丽树木、修剪整齐的树篱、草坪和美丽的花草灌木丛,所有这些都贴有标签,让您知道它们是什么。房子现在因季节原因关闭,但我建议该地区的任何人都参观这些美丽的花园,您会印象深刻,非常值得。
