点评:A visit to Mount Congreve Gardens is worth it at any time of the year but it is really special when the magnolias and camellias are in flower. The display defies description. It is well worth the admission fee.
The gardens offer a number of different walks, each with a particular focus. The main woodland walk takes about 1 hour, more if you stop to enjoy the various vistas along the way. The walled garden is a different experience, with more or less going on depending on the season. A few hours will pass without difficulty and you will get your daily exercise.
The site slopes down to the river and it is a woodland walk, so you need a reasonable degree of agility.
The coffee shop is well worth a visit. The prices are reasonable and the food is good. It can get very busy at lunchtime (and service slows), so pick your time appropriately.
There is plenty of parking on site and Mount Congreve is very easy to get to from Waterford if you fancy a cycle along the Greenway.
翻译:一年四季都值得游览康格里夫山花园,但当玉兰和山茶花盛开时,景色尤其迷人,难以用语言形容。门票绝对物超所值。
花园内有多条不同的步行路线,每条路线都有其独特的亮点。主要的林间步道大约需要1小时,如果您沿途驻足欣赏美景,则需要更长时间。围墙花园则呈现出不同的风貌,其景致会随着季节而变化。几个小时的漫步会轻松愉快,还能满足您每日的运动需求。
花园地势略微下坡,一直延伸到河边,而且是林间步道,因此您需要一定的灵活性。
咖啡馆也值得一去。价格合理,食物美味。午餐时间可能会非常拥挤(服务速度也会变慢),所以请酌情选择合适的时间前往。
花园内设有充足的停车位。如果您想沿着绿道骑行,从沃特福德前往康格里夫山花园也非常方便。
