Click the picture on the left for more details.

At the centre of the gardens is a beautiful waterfall, click the picture to see it more clearly.

The gardens are perfectly laid out and very well maintained. A circular path meanders round and down to the waterfall with diversionary paths along the way.

There are a wide variety of shrubs and trees both large and small. We visited in June and it was beautiful. Visit the gardens in May when the Azaleas and Rhododendrons are out and it must be stunning.

The paths are reasonably steep in places so it is only suitable for the able bodied. Guided tours can be arranged on request.

Some plants are featured in the gardens more than others. As well as the Azaleas and Rhododendrons, there are a wide variety of conifers and hostas.

Click the picture on the right and you will se a huge clump of hostas with hardly a slug bite on them, a site never seen in my garden!
