Castle Hill Gardens

Just to let you know we had a wonderful day out yesterday at Castle Hill gardens. The grounds are kept so well and the features of interest are wonderful. It was my Dad's birthday treat and we all really enjoyed the day. Thank you so much for opening up your gardens/grounds to the public, it brings joy and peaceful times in the countryside, in the castle, follies and riverside walk. I will tell other members of my family about Castle Hill, I'm so pleased to have found this lovely place to walk and see so many interesting things. On Bank Holiday Monday we went to spend an hour or two wandering in the Castle Hill gardens. We stayed four hours. The gardens are quite splendid. Several of the tucked away areas and well sited temples are quite enchanting. We received a warm and personal welcome from Michelle at the Kiosk who also provided us with an excellent afternoon tea. During our tour we happened to meet Lady Arran pruning her hydrangeas. She gave us a charming welcome and pointed out some key sights not to miss. Late into the evening we wandered the gardens with no one around and the sun slowly setting. Overall, a memorable visit, which we will certainly repeat. We highly recommend the garden for it's splendid vistas, carefully tended shrubs and endless interest.

We've had a lovely walk around the gardens. Plenty suitable for us even with a wheelchair. Had a lovely lunch here then tea and cake after our walk. Lovely ladies in kiosk. It is so beautiful here we will definitely return. A stunning display of camelias, rhodo's and azaleas and a sunny, blustery day to set them off. Lovely, surprising place, a pleasure to walk around even in a howling gale! Hot soup, bread & hot chocolate very welcome!

Absolutely stunning. It was a glorious day and the gardens were at their best. The colours were still vibrant and at every turning we saw another amazing display of colour. We headed for the castle and reached it and really enjoyed our walk down.
