Why it's Wildland
6.1More than 40 gardens occupy a 30-acre estate that also includes a mini zoo. Its themed spaces range from a garden dedicated to Princess Diana to one inspired by Van Gogh.
A substantial, varied garden visit with enough distinct themed spaces to reward an unhurried wander. Its appeal is designed gardens and family attractions rather than a wild landscape, so it is best suited to visitors who want a structured day out.
