The gardens comprise approximately 10 acres of formal snowdrop walks around the house and lake, with further parkland and an arboretum around the house to explore further afield. The beautiful St James’ church is always open and on most Saturdays and Sundays during the snowdrop season there will be bells ringing out along the valley as visiting campanologists come to make beautiful sounds synonymous with the rural setting.

Disabled Access
Although some of the gardens are inaccessible to wheelchair users, the majority of the snowdrops are visible from the many paths and tracks around the area. Please bear in mind that although we are on free draining Cotswold soil and keep the paths maintained throughout the open period, the inclement winter weather can beat us occasionally, resulting in slippery mud!
Dogs
Dogs are welcome. Please keep them on a short lead.
Refreshments
Refreshments will be available in the courtyard building. Each weekend a different charity will be providing snacks, hot drinks and cakes in order to raise much needed funds for both local and national causes. Toilet facilities are located in the courtyard with a plant sales stall.
