After my hectic week of Union business I took advantage of the lovely weather at the weekend and went to visit one of my favourite gardens, Hodnet Hall. The garden has lots of features and and is a wonderful place to relax. It is only open some weekends and bank holidays so I was lucky to be able to catch it un a sunny day when I wasn’t busy. And I do so love the bluebells at this time of year 
There have been gardens at Hodnet since the 11th century when the Heber-Percy family constructed their first house in the parkland, their serious development began in 1921 by the late Brigadier Heber-Percy. Today, the 60+ acres are renowned as amongst the finest in the country. Forest trees provide a wonderful backdrop for formal gardens planted to give delight during every season, woodland walks amongst flowering shrubs and a daisy chain of ornamental pools.
The Restaurant serves light lunches and afternoon teas.
Special Open Days 12 noon to 5 p.m.
You are going to have to wait for more pictures of my recent visit (although here is another), but for a taster some pictures from previous visits are here and the map of the gardens can be found here.
Beautiful. I love to see fields of bluebells
I love bluebells too, there is just something about them
You certainly know the places, Cherie. Have a nice one this weekend.
Thank You James
Ah the stately gardens of England. You are so lucky to be able to enjoy them.
