Lovely walk around these grand gardens.
Enjoyed the original series on television when they started restoring the gardens - you'd have laughed at the 'committee' it took to select the colours for the teahouse while the painters stood around fuming. A lot of care went in to the selection of dahlias too to ensure historical accuracy.
