Rolling meadows, woodland, riverside fields and formal gardens make up this beautiful park, along with a walled garden, a Japanese-style garden, a children’s playground and a cafe. Its highlight is the spectacular Rose Garden , which contains more than 45,000 flowers, tracing the development of the rose from early shrub roses to modern hybrids. The roses are in bloom from mid-July, when Rose Week offers rose competitions, music, plant and craft stalls, gardening workshops and kids' activities.
