Biddulph Grange Garden, is located In North Staffordshire, on the edge of the Peak District.
My visit was on June 2nd 2007 and the weather was perfect.
The Garden was designed in the Mid-19th Century, by James Bateman, to display specimens from his extensive plant collection.
The Garden is set out in a series of connected "Compartments".
Visitors are taken on a journey of discovery, through tunnels and pathways, that lead to Individual gardens inspired by countries around the World, from the tranquility of a Chinese garden or an Egyptian court, to an Informal Italian garden.
On my visit the Rhododendrons were all In bloom and were stunning in their bright colours.
It's certainly the best time of the year to see them.
The lake was very clear Indeed and was well stocked with Koi Carp too.
The Dahlia's had not been planted at the time of my visit, as their is a "Dahlia Walk", which is probably at its best In late August or early September. But these Gardens are worthy of a visit at any time, whilst they are open.
This is another National Trust property that is well worth a visit.
There is a nice tea room & gift shop too.
