The gardens are stocked with unusual bulbs shrubs and trees and the garden is beautiful in each of the different seasons. There are well planted borders and spacious lawns and an established area of vegetables and fruit trees as well as a wilder area.



Many birds and insects are attracted by the diversity of plants and trees and the sense of peace is tangible.

There are many places to walk or cycle. One of our favourites is to cycle down to the ferry that takes you across the River Yare to the Archers - a family friendly inn. A 10 mile round trip for a delightful afternoon.
