Horses graze on the parkland, wild flowers flourish in the woodland and the renowned Herb Garden is a hive of activity - both for bees and people! The herb garden is very typical of the gardens of old that worked for a “big house” supplying flowers, baby vegetables and herbs most weeks of the year. A collection of over 700 different varieties of herbs can be seen in the immaculately laid out gardens.
Herbs, salad and baby vegetables are picked daily for the kitchen. Flowers are grown especially to adorn the rooms and for the pot-pourri that scents the house. Rare birds are often sighted flying over the grounds or stopping off for refreshment at one of our ponds.
