点评:I don't know how we missed this in past stays, but I am glad that I found it this time. We visited on Sept. 28 and the gardens were still in great shape. Our GPS had some difficulty finding the entrance, but the sign was quite clear when we reached it on the road. There is a parking lot at the end of the drive.
One enters and pays at the cafe located adjacent to the lot. We didn't stop to have anything in the cafe, but there certainly were some delightful options near the pay center.
Once paid, you walk through a gate and along a macadam path to the walled garden. Walking through the gate was a sheer delight and the views from the inside were breathtaking. It certainly helped that the weather was accommodating.
In addition to the walled garden which is loaded with things to see, there are paths around the estate with a variety of specimens to see. There are information arrows in various places to help identify certain species.
The cost to enter was £7 per person, which seems a bit high to walk around a garden, but the funds go to the conservation of the grounds. And it is obvious that it takes quite a bit to keep it pristine shape. There are toilets in the cafe should you need them.
翻译:我不知道之前几次来这里是怎么错过的,但这次能发现它真是太好了。我们9月28日去的,花园依然保持着极佳的状态。我们的GPS导航一开始不太好找入口,但到了路边,路标非常清晰。车道尽头有个停车场。
进入停车场后,在旁边的咖啡馆付款。我们没有在咖啡馆用餐,但付款点附近确实有一些不错的选择。
付款后,穿过一道门,沿着一条柏油路就能到达围墙花园。穿过大门的感觉真是太棒了,从里面望出去的景色更是美不胜收。当然,天气也格外宜人。
除了花园里琳琅满目的景致之外,庄园周围还有许多小径,沿途种植着各种各样的植物。很多地方都有信息箭头,可以帮助游客识别不同的植物种类。
门票每人7英镑,逛逛花园似乎有点贵,但这些钱用于花园的维护保养。显然,要保持花园的完美状态需要花费不少钱。咖啡馆里有洗手间,如有需要可以使用。
