Martin C also has passed on this tip from his mother-in-law, Joan S (moved to Ashbourne but not forgotten), that Consall Gardens in Staffordshire are well worth visiting. The Gardens are open every Wednesday, Sunday and Bank Holiday from Good Friday to the end of October, so there is still time to visit before the end of the mseason. Would this be a good destination for a future Horticultural Society trip?
On reclaimed industrial land this 70 acres of landscape garden are the creation of one man, William Podmore, over many years. There is interest through out the year.
Fifty years of amazing vision, careful planning and construction have created Consall Hall Landscape Gardens, which includes six lakes, various follies, summer houses, packhorse bridges and much more.
All these have been blended together to compose a series of living, growing pictures which change throughout the seasons and according to the weather. The result is a treasure trove for garden enthusiasts, photographers, artists and families to enjoy and savour.
