One of my favourite books as a child was 'The Secret Garden' by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The walled garden at Scargill has very much that kind of feel to it, especially at this time of year when everything is lush and growing with wild abandon. It may have been a dry spring and early summer but despite, or perhaps because of, that some things seem to have had a particularly spectacular year, roses for one.
It's all rather magical and there are many places to sit and enjoy the peace of nature.
I loved that book too! What a wonderful visit..and especially if there are places to sit and take in all that is on offer!
