Words are hard to describe this place as its marvellous place to explore and would require more than one visit to this place. Definitely its a great experience for all in particular if you like history, gardening, flowers and enjoying the great outdoors. Mixing it with great views and walks, not so great for those who struggle with uneven surfaces and walking great distances. But don't let put you off as you can enjoy the grounds in small doses.

Beside the grounds and woodlands to explore there is a gift shop, places to buy food and other refreshments as well as toilets. It is best if you pick up a map of the place as you can plan where you like to see first. The staff are very friendly and very helpful....willing to give you direction if you feel lost and will soon get back on track.

Absolutely wonderful place. Every type of garden you could imagine, fantastic away of plants, flours and trees with beautiful plumage and colours in early May when visited. The Jungle is amazing, as are all the pathways that lead you through woodland trails and the various gardens and courtyards. Oh, and if you have kids, the playground near the east lawn is fantastic. Food and drinks are available in 2 main cafes plus a few other smaller food huts dotted about. Did not get a chance to visit the farm shop, but it is said to have some excellent produce and the meat selection to die for.  All in all a wonderful day out for me, the wife and the dog.

10/10 for this place.
Lots to see and do, you’ll be exploring for a full day if you do the whole park. There are easy and more difficult paths, something for everyone of all abilities.

We took a picnic but also had delicious ice cream too. There was also lots of other food options including a BBQ eatery. Finding a bench to sit and rest was easy. Very dog friendly which is so lovely.

If it wasn't for my Cornish friend who hosted me at her place I would have never known about this adorable little fishermen's town. I spent my first day here relaxing at the beach, trying local cider and getting lost in the pretty centre and in the...
