What a lovely little place to walk through a touch of history. Being able to get close to architecture from such a long time ago.
I went during a time when they didn’t have the buildings open to walk through them. And there was practically no one there. Which made it easy to just explore. I know that the Mansion often holds events as well. It did seem like a place with a ton more history on the inside.
This time was purely the grounds themselves. Everything around the area was well taken care of. The flowers and plants in bloom are completely outstanding. And almost everything was labeled in case you wanted to know what was growing. The paths were easily accessible, and really just a breath of fresh air.
I recommend checking out this place at least once. Personally I would like to go back when the shops are open, to get the full experience.
