place during the weekend.

Hestercombe gardens are worthy of a visit in their own right and are a
chance to see one of the most successful collaborations of Edward Lutyens
and Gertrude Jekyll now wonderfully restored and all set in 40 acres of
beautiful landscaped parkland by Bampfylde.

Dogs on (short) leads are welcome and the café has good food at reasonable
prices.
