点评:We have lived within an 30 minute drive of here for 10 years but only just discovered this absolute gem that seems to fly under the radar of South Devon attractions.
The gardens are simply gorgeous - such a relaxed and calm environment. We’ve never seen it busy and the last time we went we had the gardens to ourselves which made it even more special.
We first visited at peak bluebell season (late April 2026) so walked through the bluebell woods down to the lake then back up to the concentric paths surrounding the main valley with majestic oak trees in the centre.
We were simple gob-smacked how beautiful it was and decided to upgrade the standard entrance fee to annual pass so we can visit whenever we want and see the changes in the seasons.
We’ve just visited again in late October and its wonderful to see the autumn colours really coming through. We look forward to visiting again and seeing the gardens in winter.
Dogs on leads welcome.
Highly reccomended!
翻译:十年来,我们一直住在离这里车程30分钟范围内的地方,但直到最近才发现这座宛如隐藏宝石般的园林——它似乎并未被列入南德文郡的热门景点名录。
这里的花园美得令人陶醉,环境宁静又惬意。我们从未见过人多拥挤的情况;上次去的时候,整个花园都只有我们两人,这让体验更加特别了。我们首次到访时正值风铃草盛开的季节(2026年4月下旬),于是漫步在开满风铃草的林间小径直至湖边,之后又沿着环形步道回到主山谷。山谷中央矗立着许多雄伟的橡树。
眼前的美景让我们惊叹不已,于是我们决定把原本的单次入园费升级为年票,这样就能随时前来欣赏四季的变幻了。我们刚在10月下旬再次造访,看到秋色尽情展现真是美不胜收。我们期待着下次再去,欣赏冬天的花园景象。
允许牵着狗入园。
强烈推荐!
