A couple of weeks ago Hodnet Hall Gardens opened its doors for the 2025 season. We had other plans on the first two Sunday’s that it was open, a Chesterfield overnighter and a small family gathering for mother’s day and my mum’s birthday.
Today was the perfect opportunity for our first visit of the year. The sun was kind to us allowing us to sit outside and enjoy our lunch in the sunshine. Although served differently the smoked mackerel pâté was every bit as good as I remembered it from our previous lunches at Hodnet Hall.
Following lunch we strolled around the gardens, enjoying the spring flowers in the spring sunshine.
A perfect afternoon.
There’s something special about returning to a place that holds good memories, especially when the food and surroundings remain just as delightful. The magnolia blooms must have been a beautiful sight in the spring light.

The Magnolias were magnificent, I am so glad I had the opportunity to visit.
What a lovely day!
The hut reminded me of St Fagan’s in Cardiff.
They look alike.
This building is a Tithe Barn.
The weather was just perfect.
