Tucked away down a quiet country lane, Bluebell Cottage Gardens and Nursery is one of Cheshire’s best kept secrets.

Nancy arranged a lovely morning out to visit Bluebell Cottage Gardens and what a perfect break from the whirlwind of modern life. It was bluebell season so we had to take a stroll through their natural bluebell woods, and then onto the walled garden which was amazing. Truly a beautiful rural setting.

We then moved onto Cholmondeley Castle for the afternoon, it’s designed by English Heritage and built at the start of the 19th Century, for George Cholmondeley, 1st Marquess of Cholmoneley. There were gorgeous grounds to stroll around, beautiful lily lakes and flower gardens. A brief walk to the chapel and round the outskirts of the castle with some lovely views. We decided to take a picnic but there was a great little coffee shop serving food, drinks and ice cream.
Great day out with good company!
