Enjoy Charles Brocklehurst's informal garden as it comes alive in spring; snowdrops, narcissi and cyclamen lead the way, and are soon followed by the vibrant colour of rhododendrons, magnolias, and azaleas. The walled garden has been restored in line with Brocklehurst's vision, and now the white perennial borders sing out in summer. On warm days, bring a picnic to enjoy eating outside in the fresh air. Families can explore and play in the natural play area. Autumn provides a great opportunity for invigorating walks around the garden as the trees change colour.
