Default Garden visit


Longstock Park Water Garden, Hants, owned by the John Lewis
partnership opens only about 12 times a year, each time in aid of a
different charity.

A friend took me last summer and I highly recommend it. There is a
water garden in the valley, parkland and a nursery and tea-room.

Yes, quite nice water garden (if a little crowded).
It's near Stockbridge (overpriced so-so food!) so if it's a fine day with no
wind take a picnic and enjoy it at the Iron Age Danebury hill fort close by
(car park near the top with toilets). Beautiful spot with views over
counties. It's worth the trip in itself.
