Back in the formal gardens, admire the artistic shapes on the topiary lawn; Bertie the Dog is always a firm favourite. Between the neatly clipped hedges, see the late tulips in the Pond Garden and early herbaceous planting coming up in the Flower Garden around the topiary pyramids.

(Please note that the House will not be open on this occasion.)
