Across the 7.5 acres there are formal and informal locations to suit all styles of weddings, but we suggest organising a viewing to take it all in. You'll have the option to select from their rolling lawns and weeping willows, cottage garden, formal rose garden, settlers hut, or the pavilion and large lake as your perfect setting.
