Raveningham Gardens are open on Sunday, August 29 and Bank Holiday Monday, August 30 from 2pm to 5pm.
This is the perfect time of year to explore the 18th century walled kitchen garden. Some 35 different types of vegetable are grown there; these include heirloom varieties such as mayflower cauliflower and blue solaise leek. The orchard is also coming into its own; pride of place goes to the 300 year-old Queen Charlotte apple tree.
