Walk the twisted brick pergola lined with fan trained apples and pears which create a beautiful blossom walk in the spring. Sit in the living hornbeam gazebo, part of a RHS award winning garden exhibited at the Malvern Spring show and the N.E.C., which inspired Alan Titchmarsh to present Gardeners World Live from inside it! There is a chamomile lawn which releases its heavenly scent when walked upon and with its surrounding varieties of mixed herbs and aromatics produces an incredible sensory experience. Children enter if you dare the mysterious man made cave complete with atmospheric swirling mists, and something lurking in the depths.You must take the time to walk the unicursal path of the beautiful turf labyrinth, which awards you a ‘wish’ when you reach the middle, then contemplate the stone circle which is aligned according to the years solstices and equinoxes.Remember to introduce yourself to the Green Man, and then let the kids go wild in the new Adventure Playground.
