Make the most of being a resident and visit on a week day, before 10am or late evening when the visitors have gone home, to enjoy a riverside walk. Taking in the stunning views, beautiful gardens and water Lillie filled ponds. There’s even a couple of waterfalls! Spot our resident Heron, birds of prey and the odd Kingfisher if you are lucky.
