Raveningham Gardens opens for the 2010 season on Easter Sunday. This country house garden is the perfect place to enjoy a break from the stresses and strains of modern life.
There is much for visitors to enjoy in April, notably the new Time Garden (pictured), inspired by Francis Bacon’s Essay Of Gardens, contemporary garden sculpture, a working Victorian Kitchen Garden and conservatory that houses soft fruit and tender plants, the orchard and arboretum, lakeside walks and 14th century St Andrews Church.
Raveningham Gardens are open from Easter Sunday to the end of August, Monday to Friday 11am to 4pm and Bank Holiday Sundays and Mondays 2pm to 5pm. Homemade teas are available only on Bank Holiday Sundays and Mondays. Most of the gardens are accessible to visitors in wheelchairs. Admission is Adult £4, concessions £3.50 and children under 16 free. Dogs on leads are welcome.

Sir Nicholas Bacon said: “This is a place of peace and quietness – away from the rush of life – it is a place that has evolved with time to incorporate all that a Georgian garden always was with the workings of modern life, a garden that has kept its heart and integrity in a changing world, where you can see a working kitchen garden which still produces fruit and vegetables as it did for my ancestors.”
