Great trip would recommend wearing boots as trails muddy and slippery, also have to cross a stream to get to the lighthouse. Guides more than knowledgeable on the history

This is a fabulously maturing garden with lovely tea rooms and seats outdoors near games for kids like hopscotch and tic tak toe. The garden centre is well stocked with good specimens. The mazes are excellent but the plants and planting schemes are the true stars!
