These award-winning gardens include magnificent herbaceous borders, the enchanting White Rose Garden with over 20 varieties of white roses, a Secret Garden with deep shade and cooling waters in a tiny hidden corner, Paradise Walk and Oriental Garden, the Knot Garden and Nut Walk and the Drunken Garden with its crazy topiary. In complete contrast on a high hillside above the walled gardens and estate vineyard is the Enchanted Forest, where quirky and mysterious gardens have been developed in the ancient woodland by innovative designer, Ivan Hicks, to challenge the imagination. The children will love the Dark Walk, Tree Fern Valley, Village of the Groms, the Serpents’ Lair and the Mystic Pool, the Romany Camp, Double Spiral and the Giant Swings Walk. Other activities to amuse young and old alike are the Birds of Prey flying displays which take place upto three times a day during the peak season. You can also enjoy a gentle canal boat cruise to and from the Forest for a nominal fee. Voted in recent years as one of best tourist experiences in the South East of England and makes fun packed day out. Opens from March 22nd.
