On this visit, on this chilly, dreich,
wintry-feeling Saturday, the gardens
were still a few weeks away from
their new spring growth and colour,
so we decided to have a walk in the
historic walled garden, visit the
glasshouses, and then head to the
woods. But first, having had a long
drive to get here, we headed to the
café for lunch. First things first and
all that.
