Gardens · 1 h to 1 h 30 · self-guided · Victorian glasshouse, rose garden and tropical butterflies next to the castle

Behind the castle are the botanic gardens and the walled garden, with a Victorian glasshouse, flower beds, the rose garden and a woodland walk. Within the grounds, the butterfly house has tropical butterflies flying among the plants: children love it, and on a cold day the warmth inside is very welcome.
It opens from 9:30, like the rest of the grounds. Allow an hour or an hour and a half, more if you stop at the Avoca café, whose terrace overlooks two of the gardens. Check on the website what each ticket includes before you buy.
