Indulge yourself with a day in the country, visiting and enjoying the peace and tranquility of five park-like gardens in beautiful Coatesville. See five gardens which have been created by the love, care and hard work of keen gardeners. The gardens will all be at their best early summer/late spring splendour, and will not disappoint both gardeners or those who simply enjoy beautiful surroundings.
