Many ewes which have lambed in the Paddocks with their lambs gambolling about.

The Gardens in this season are a delight with massed drifts of daffodils. Elsewhere winter starkness shows off the shapes of trees, especially the gnarled arms of the ancient espaliered fruit trees in the Walled Garden standing like old men in line. The fish in the moats delight everyone. Greylag and Canada Geese have returned to breed. Percy the Peacock and his wives roam the manor.

For younger visitors there are the Courtyard Maze and the Yew Castle with its secret tunnels to explore and I Spy challenges to answer, which will keep you looking.

Pregnant or believe you could be? Please see the advice below.
