Quintissential English village. You could imagine things having been the same for hundreds of years - the church, the gardens, sitting outside and having a coffee (well almost) and the craft shops are great. Very well worth a visit. More

Not an awful lot of flowers out. Seems they have a nice rose garden but too early. Azaleas looked nice though and has a quaint little church. More
