Bluebells at Sissinghurst, Kent

If you're planning to join the hordes who'll be trooping around Sissinghurst Garden this Spring, don't forget to have a wander around the lakes and the woods which surround the formal garden.

Just follow the queue, wiseoldowl! :lollol: Not really, it's generally OK. The path to the lakes and woods is by the National Trust giftshop - if I remember rightly it's signposted.

Sissinghurst now has its own vegetable garden which you can also wander around.
