点评:What a gem! This garden was the biggest surprise we had all holiday. You turn down a small road, which is signposted to the house and gardens then suddenly you are on a driveway which reminded us of the tv series, Game of Thrones, with the huge gnarled trees and moss. Then drive about half a mile across bucolic countryside, catching a glimpse of the main house, which is private, to the car park for the gardens. We were greeted by two jolly and very helpful chaps who went out of their way to explain and show us which way to go etc. From the moment you enter the garden, the only word I can use is WOW! Every corner revealed another surprise, waterfalls, topiary, sculptures, beautiful plant specimens and thoughtfully placed benches to sit a while. It was honestly the nicest garden we have been in for some time, it reminded me a bit of The Lost Gardens of Helligan in Cornwall, and apparently there is a connection. You can walk around in 40 minutes apparently but we took about two hours!
After spending a long time admiring, walking, taking countless photos, you arrive back at the start where a lovely cafe awaits with fresh lunches, afternoon teas and cakes. Everyone we met was so helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back. Well done to everyone involved in this wonderful place.
翻译:真是个宝地!这个花园是我们整个假期最大的惊喜。沿着一条小路拐进去,路标指示着通往房子和花园的方向,突然间,你来到一条车道上,路边巨大的盘根错节的树木和苔藓,让我想起了电视剧《权力的游戏》。然后驱车穿过大约半英里的田园风光,可以瞥见主屋(它是私人领地),最终到达花园的停车场。两位热情友好的小伙子接待了我们,他们不厌其烦地为我们讲解路线等等。从踏入花园的那一刻起,我只能用“哇!”来形容。每个角落都充满了惊喜:瀑布、修剪整齐的树篱、雕塑、美丽的植物标本,还有精心布置的长椅供人休憩。说实话,这是我们一段时间以来见过的最美的花园,它让我想起了康沃尔郡的赫利根失落花园,而且据说两者之间确实存在某种联系。据说40分钟就能逛完,但我们花了差不多两个小时!
欣赏美景、漫步、拍了无数照片之后,我们终于回到了起点,那里有一家温馨的咖啡馆,提供新鲜的午餐、下午茶和蛋糕。我们遇到的每个人都非常热情友好。我们一定会再来的。感谢所有参与打造这个美好地方的人!
