There isn't so much colour to see in the spring though there were good displays of daffodils and other spring flowers. If you're interested in getting ideas for your garden, this is a good place to come with the many different kinds of gardens to look at, all on the smallish scale, most if not all the results of Geoff...

We travelled from Nottingham with an expectation that Barnsdale would provide some much needed inspiration for our own garden design. Unfortunately, the touted 8 acre site and 33 gardens is more than a little misleading.

Loads to see, different "gardens included all over the place as it was the Gardeners' World location for many years. Good cafe, and large plant sale area

You can visit any time of the year and it looks wonderful Any garen can look good in Summer but on a foggy, frosty day it is mysterious and beautiful (Textures and coloured bark). Lots of good ideas for your own garden as well.

Worst of all, quite expensive pre-packed sandwiches were wet and soggy upon opening. When brought to attention of staff (estimated age about 16), only got blank looks!!
