Meet in the courtyard near the toilets for 10am start. We are going to stroll around the gardens taking in the badger sett, bird hide, rose garden, pet cemetary etc. The paths are good but not all made-up. Only gentle slopes. A few steps with handrail when we cross the bridge. Lovely views across the wider estate, flowers, shrubs and hopefully a plethora of butterflies and other insects. Back at the entrance we can have coffee (cake too?) at the cafe or bring your own. Afterwards, for those who want to, we can return to the house and visit the costume exhibition and finally pick up some lunch (or bring your own).
No stiles - for terrain see description
