    Garden strolls<\/h3>\n
    \n

    The summer gardens are spectacular and the Octagonal Garden is a popular starting spot: the lengthy path to the majestic manor house is lined by herbaceous borders showcasing traditional blooms such as foxgloves, delphiniums, Dutch iris, salvia, poppies, nigella and accent grasses.<\/p>\n

    Summer is also the season to view thousands of agapanthus in bloom, in shades ranging from white to inky purple. It\u2019s also the perfect time to enjoy swathes of hydrangeas, bringing summer colour to the entrance road and library area. <\/p>\n

    History enthusiasts can explore the beautifully restored homestead, library and information centre, with pictorial panels that detail the estate’s history and famous forebears and visitors.<\/p>\n
