Spring is the perfect time to enjoy a stay at some historic house hotels and enjoy their superb gardens in bloom.
| Middlethorpe Hall Gardens—York Middlethorpe Hall is set within 20 acres of gardens and parkland, which have been extensively restored and replanted since the 1980's. Walks were recreated providing paths, allowing guests to discover wildlife including roe deer and various nesting birds around the lake. The kitchen garden produces not only a beautiful display of flowers but holds herb beds which have been planted for fruits: apples, pears, plums and peaches, all of which are used by the chefs to create wonderful puddings. The team of gardeners has also created an organic “potager”， producing a wide selection of vegetables. Guests can follow a special tree trail around the grounds of Middlethorpe Hall, with a copy of their “The Gardens and Trees of Interest” Guide and Map to identify specimens(标本). Guests should head toward the English Oak, a tree planted some 200 years ago. |
| Hartwell House Gardens—Buckinghamshire Designed at the start of the 18th century and landscaped by Richard Woods, the gardens at Hartwell House offer guests plenty to explore. You can spend hours discovering the grounds which include a Gothic Tower, a Statue of Hercules, a milelong avenue and the Canal Temple home to 10，000 daffodils. A kitchen garden used by the chefs features peach, pear and plum trees. Guests can follow a trail around the grounds with a copy of their Tree Map to identify 10 specimens. Several tennis courts are also available for guest use. |
