Which places are open and what you need to know before you visit
We're starting to open some gardens and parklands in England and Northern Ireland at reduced capacity, through advance bookings every week. Most places up to 8 June have now reached capacity. New tickets are released every Friday and we'll continue to add new places over the coming weeks. More than 200 coast and countryside car parks are now open. All houses remain closed for now and all places in Wales remain closed following Welsh Government advice. Read this article to find out what's open and what to expect from your visit.
A garden fit for a castle
An english rose garden
The heady scent of roses fills the air before you even reach the garden. The blooms combined with the castle walls feels like you've stepped back in time.
Castle garden surprise
Sempervivums, or houseleeks, are hardy as well as beautiful and the swirling rosettes compliment the castle roses.
Place of peace
The pond, topped with lily pads, is set within the rose garden and bordered with pergolas, adorned with climbing blooms.
