Spring has arrived late in our area. Many guests visit this part of England in order to visit the surrounding country houses and gardens. The gardens are at their best in late May and early June for spectacular floral displays. Montacute House, Stourhead, Barrington Court, Tintinhull and Lytes Carey are some of the most popular.
Combined with country walks on Cadbury Castle (a Saxon hill fort reputedly the site of King Arthur’s Camelot ) and Corton Ridg, where the wild flowers are abundant. The wild meadows of Babcary were at their best in Mid May with a splendid array of wild flowers, including field buttercup, orchids, yellow rattle, pink clover, to name but a few.
