The Long Walk, Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire
Kedleston is set in the middle of its own Park Land, lots of walks. There is no formal flower garden but instead what they name ‘Pleasure Grounds’. My favourite walk is through the old woodland, here Beech, Oak and Chestnut dominate, tall and on a sunny day casting long shadows. Right now daffodils line much of the woodland approaches. .We were luck to catch them as this warm spell of sunny weather will soon turn the Daffs and they will be gone foe another year. Soon Bluebells will cover much of the floor. So join us on a brief April afternoon tour of the grounds and garden, …a garden that has its own Church…
Thoughtfully the Estate have lots of well placed seats to pause, sit and enjoy the expansive Derbyshire views and like the Hare above time to take in a bit of sun.
