Stunning gardens and an interesting collection. Staff are friendly and helpful, the site is vast and it’s easy to spend a day there.
Plenty to see
Great day out on a lovely day. Took a 13, 11 and 7yr old and was surprised how well they ALL loved it. Plenty to see in the hangers, lovely gardens, large children's playground and cafe.
