    The snowdrops look lovely. The garden nursery is stocked with some lovely unusual plants and the nursery man Kevin and his mate are extremely helpful. The tea rooms tempt you with cakes, soups, etc.. They also have some lovely handicrafts and paintings for sale.

    This lovely garden has a peaceful, timeless atmosphere, sadly as a result of the v. wet summer it was not particularly colourful - therefore definitely necessitating a return visit!!

    This is a truly magnificent garden - well worth taking a detour for. The house provides an excellent backdrop to the carefully-planted and colourful garden and a tributary of the River Avon meanders through the grounds. Other features include a Japanese tea house. Heale also has an excellent nursery - you can find interesting and unusual plants here - and Kevin, who runs it, is extremely helpful.
