About

Take a stroll through the Elizabethan Garden, relax with a coffee on our shaded terrace or enjoy a walk along the east side of the moat and see a different side of the castle!

Our gardens and grounds offer lots of seasonal variation for you to enjoy and when you are ready for some refreshment, why not pop into Geo's, who are running our Chestnuts café, for a snack, light lunch or afternoon - plus a great coffee!
