The gardens comprise 37 individual gardens and features all blended together by the borders into one eight acre garden. From Barnsdale we continue to Rutland Water and enjoy a cruise on the ‘Rutland Belle’ On to the overnight hotel for dinner, bed & breakfast.

The formal gardens, pleasure grounds and boating lakes provide a charming place for a stroll and the estate is also home to some 300 deer. Return home later in the day.
