These tranquil gardens are a combination of pools, formal gardens, informal gardens and woodlands, bounded by a stream. They include a Japanese garden with a bridge and exotic statues, water gardens fed by natural springs, and for children, the story book Gnome Village. There are lots of quiet seating areas to enjoy the serenity. There are also historic eighteenth century tearooms overlooking the gardens. Toilets and ample parking for cars and coaches.
