Newby Hall & Gardens

After returning to England, we've had one of the hottest weeks in May, since precise measurements began in 1772! During the week we visited Newby Hall’s twenty-five acres of award winning gardens. We packed a picnic and ate our sandwiches under a shady tree with little white flowers blooming small patches. Once inside the grounds, we started in the children’s adventure garden and let the boys play on the boat swings, rope swing, and playground equipment. They also had a small waterway with paddle boats to cruise around in.


The gardens were quite spectacular with all the May flowers, stone paths, and compartmented gardens.
