Enjoyed a splendid visit today,will be back again.

(5.0/5)

I love gardening, and have spent many years looking at gorgeous garden photos when reading and researching gardening. I have also visited many gardens in my time and have to say that the planting at Hampton court in Hereford has to be the best I have seen. I just adored it, and want to go back again tomorrow. The yellow and blue borders were heavenly> The restrained but effective choice of plants had me tearing about with a notebook, hoping to remember the clever juxtaposition of plants.If you are still thinking about how to plant your own garden, get there by any means necessary!

Most impressed by the signs of careful cultivation everywhere which includes edibles as well as ornamental plants. Of note at this time are the glorious tulips of various hues and shapes and the espalier fruit trees. The descent from the tower in the centre of the maze into the darkness to emerge into the light and the sunken garden was a delight. The parkland hosts some magnificent mature trees and the riverside walk also gives views of farmland and the house. My only quibble was the lack of labelling but this might come in time.

Some of the most magical gardens I've ever seen. The lady gardeners are charming and helpful and were able to give me numbers of tips.

The cafe is set in the wonderful old organgery. Don't miss this one. Apparently the house predates Hampton Court palace.
