| This charming Jacobean manor house (open by
prior appointment only) is surrounded by delightful gardens and a fine park. The house, built in around 1620, is now the home of the Williams
family. On the north side of the building is a wide lawn enclosed by mixed
herbaceous borders.
Smaller gardens are surrounded by beautifully clipped
hedges. The park has some magnificent old trees including an avenue of ancient lime
trees and a venerable oak, with a 30 foot trunk, said to be over 1,000 years old.
The park is backed by 100 acres of woodland and visitors
can enjoy several walks here. In the spring the profusion of rhododendrons and
azaleas, underplanted with bluebells and lilies-of-the-valley, create a spectacular
display of colour. |
