However the weather was not, it rained quite a lot. So after that we reverted to September visits when we always had an Indian summer ;-) We are planning another visit Oop North this year. Currently scheduled for September, although the plan may flex ;-) In 2011 we visited Northumberland in June and the Rhododendrons at Cragside were spectacular.

There is something about them that is just breathtaking, and as well as the above Bodnant, Exbury, The Savill Gardens, Glendoick, Trenwainton, Leornardslee, Bowood and many others should be if near visited in the coming month, it is one of the great sights of spring.
