Title: Nice day out
Post by: caroline7758 on March 29, 2009, 16:18:10
Took advantage of the lovely sunshine today and paid our first visit to Wentworth Castle near Barnsley.

Can really recommend it. The gardens were packedwith primroses, daffodils and hellebores, among others, with camellias, magnloias and rhodies to follow soon. They are doing a brilliant retoration job on the various buildings and follies and for anyone with kids there's a great playground.

Yes, we did the garden trail today but plan to go back and do the parkland trail another time.
