Lovely grounds, excellent and knowledgeable staff and a very long queue to reach the stone but a lovey day out

There was really a lot to see as far as the grounds. I enjoyed walking around and enjoying the great care that went into all the gardens.

Very well done. Rushed to kiss the stone but great experience.
