    Thoroughly enjoyed our visit today the tranquility of the walk round the lakes and sculptures made a very enjoyable morning. Stopping and enjoying the views as went round. Followed by lunch at the cafe. And a browse round the shop .toilets and free parking.

    Even though we picked a wet day it was still very enjoyable, we took a leisurely walk around the lakes, the sculptures and landscape was amazing. A few of the grass paths in the garden were fenced off because of the rain but there was other paths we could use so we could still see all the sculptures. All the staff we met were really nice and friendly. Will definitely return but hopefully pick dryer day

    Today was our first visit to this peaceful, beautiful place. As a wheelchair user, it is always a worry how we will get on. No problems here. Disabled parking. All areas accessible (ramp available to The Gallery), everyone helpful and friendly. Food delicious, good variety of drinks (takeaway available). Sculptures were beautiful, very tactile and presented in gorgeous setting. Many varieties of birds. Lakes and gardens well kept. Will definitely return.

    Well worth a visit. You can wander around at your own pace just taking in the peace, quiet and bird song. The sculptures are fantastic. They would appeal to everybody. They are all around the lakes and in among the gardens so make sure you take your time . We would highly recommend this place.
