My partner and I visited the Abbotsford House on a sunny day and had a wonderful time! The Gardens rivaled some of the botanic gardens I have been to, with very well taken care of plants. The indoor guided audio tour was also so much fun! I had picked the actor version and found it so engaging, I definitely learnt so much! The witches trail they have on looked very cool too, but more aimed at younger children. There's lots there for everyone!
Fascinating place. It would have been helpful to know you need to get tickets at the building at the top of the hill beforehand. The cafe and toilets are all in there as well. Tricky if you are disabled at all. Yet the rooms available to the public in the house are all on one level.The self-guided tour on ear- phones is excellent.Splendid gardens with a rich variety of plants.

Such a wonderful home and gardens. We loved the dramatized audio tour. Very clever to have you beep the light on, in each room you want to see. The gardens are lovely, So many beautiful flowers. I know lovely wooded walk as well.Recommend purchasing your tickets in advance. This is a popular place.We spent about 2 hours here. But you could spend much more
