Thanks to a wealth of splendid trees punctuating the landscape, autumn lights up the gardens with an enchanting colourama of golden and crimson leaves, large skies and glistening reflections in the water. At this time, the air is fragrant; impending dormancy writ large in ripening seedheads and cobwebs throughout. Parking and entry via the park, honesty box (all donations will go to Coutryside Learning) and maps by the gates. Dogs on leads welcome. Toilet facilities are available. Open between 9am-4pm.
