Chippenham Park

Earlier in the year I discovered a garden called Chippenham Park. It's on the Cambridge/Suffolk border and I had never heard of it! A bit of research shows it isn't open a lot but that it is open for Snowdrop season.

The garden was designed in the Anglo-dutch style for a friend and official of King William III and has a number of  "canals".

So as the weather today promised to be rather good I headed to Chippenham Park today.

















































































So thoughts? The garden was nice. Definitely worth going to, obviously it helped that the day was flipping gorgeous. I could easily be on holiday the last few days!!

It's a pity that it is open more often but that's the owners right. 

Oh saw my first butterfly of the year a comma.

    I've not heard of it either, it's delightful. What a lot of daffodils - we've only got two or three out, as yet.

    Looks a lovely place to visit. I like the sculptures - particularly the otter. They're a bit different. Thx spring flowers look lovely. Good to have somewhere new to visit.. beautiful
