点评:The old walled garden is showing a lot of promise as a restored and re-imagined use of the planting to display a very large collection of Austin roses. New paths, water features and seating make it an easy and pleasant place to explore. There is plenty of variety with perennials interspersed with the roses although few are in flower in May except some early species like Canary bird. All the beds are very tidy and well maintained and there are thousands of buds forming on the roses so expect a spectacular display of colour and scent in June. There are mature Wisteria and Clematis on the outside of the walls and at the furthest end there is an exit to the glasshouse restaurant where they grow fruit, vegetables and herbs. The restaurant looks smart and offers an up-market lunch, but we had a nice coffee outside and a lot more relaxed than the Café. It gets a bit warm inside even with the doors and windows open, but there is an aircon bar area as well. There is a Café at the entrance which was very busy and noisy so obviously a very popular place to meet. The Hall and lake is some distance from the gardens and seems to be a rather exclusive wedding venue.
