Beautiful free-to-visit Victorian walled garden filled with colourful flower beds, fountains, sculptures, pathways and peaceful hidden corners to explore. Families can wander through the different garden areas, spot wildlife around the pond and enjoy a relaxed walk, with Castle Park and its woodland paths right beside it for extending the adventure. A lovely quieter family stop, especially when the gardens are in full bloom.
