I had a lovely visit to Castle Howard this morning arriving just after 10am. It was a warm and sunny with the temperature at times creeping well over 20C. The reason for the visit was that the ‘Bentley Driver’s Club’ were calling in during the day. So with some time on my hands until the first cars started to arrive I had a walk through the walled garden. The gardens at Castle Howard always look good, no matter what time of year you visit and today was no exception. What stood out for me today though were the roses and the lilies, their colour and scent was quite striking. There are some lovely vistas too with paths neatly cut and hedges finely trimmed, there is always something to catch your eye when you turn the corner. A lovely place to visit and just get away from all the stress and hassle of todays society.
