Many people come to Hampton purely to enjoy the garden. After I visited it was easy to see why. I was especially keen on the house, but the garden proved to be an absolute delight.
The Dutch-style water gardens were wonderfully attractive, and overall there was a perfect mix of formal and informal garden areas, with plenty of space for children to run about and lots of quiet corners for adults to enjoy at a slightly slower pace! The colours in summer when we visited were simply stunning. As you might expect, the maze was especially popular with children, though it seemed when I was there that at least as many adults were trying their hand at finding a way to the centre as there were children!
And it is worth it; the view from the top of the tower is wonderful, with an excellent panorama over the walled and water gardens to the towers of the castle itself.
