Bodnant Castle
Great Dixter and Tenterden. Summer 2023
A great day was had by the group.
The unusual garden was interesting and looked very lush in the hot sun.
Tenterden is a lovely place with lots of independent shops and a tree lined high street. It also has a heritage railway with trains to Bodiam Castle. The sunken garden has a beautiful pond and abundant tall plants around the paths.
