Whilst not oozing with many myriads of beauty and viviacious colour, Castle Bromwich hall gardens is a very neat, well-maintained collection of horticulture, which serves as a pint-sized (you get... read more the impression they do all they absolutley can with what they've got), chilled out pause of greenary stuck in the middle of the frenetic movements of motorways and suburbia.
They've curated their nature very well and in doing so have created a mellow ambience, one which reflects the hall so much you fully expect a wealthy Victorian to emerge from the house to inspect his gardens!

One quibble though is the maze. Leaving aside my struggles to complete it, I was rather perturbed by the prickles and thorns that overhung the shubbery and grazed my being. This wasn't so bad bneath skies that demanded the wearing of long sleeves and trousers, but I imagine on balmier days that demand a decreasing of clothimg, they may prick exposed flesh rather sharply.

Despite living almost on its doorstep,this was my first trip to this cheaply-priced sanctuary, and now I've discovered it, it won't be my last.

Other open day events such as Apple Day to visit.

A annual ticket is on offer offering 15 months access to the gardens instead of the normal 12 months to enjoy all the seasons of the year. There is also a small shop offering hot and cold drinks with snakes and a few gift idea. I personally recommend the scone with jam and cream and tea packs.

The gardens are very safe and secure to visit during Covid-19 with precautions and safety taken seriously.
