Renishaw Hall and Gardens An open garden in Derbyshire

Visited Renishaw Hall 2 years ago - lovely fairly formal gardens - the Hall wasn't open to the public at that time but I think it is now - you should make the effort to walk around the lake which was a bit neglected but had loads of wildlife including nesting swans.

The home of the Sitwell family who personally ensure the high quality of plant and garden care.
A joy in May, the azaleas were nearly over. The handkerchief tree in full 'bloom'.
Plan to visit again in August to see the herbaceous borders, whose skeleton promised great things.
Excellent courtyard cafe, several art and museum diplays.
