The gardens themselves were beautiful and a real pleasure to visit. The gardeners were friendly and welcoming. The exhibition hall had some lovely things in it, too - the big engines, the model railway sets etc. Toilets clean and spacious. Having said this, the centre have changed the entrance so it now runs through the next door garden centre, but you have to figure it out yourself. The main entrance was shut. When we finally worked out how on earth you now get into the site, and where on earth to park, we expressed our polite surprise to the reception staff member. They were completely uninterested. Within the grounds, signage is fairly baffling and really difficult to follow. In summary, yes it's worth the visit. But be prepared to have to work hard to get into it and round it, at present. For guests with sensory impairments or mobility difficulties, good signage really helps to make a visit doable. I hope that they will manage to get this sorted out soon. PS - the owners have responded, suggesting that the steam museum and gardens are separate things. Which is odd, because the website makes the public assume it's just one thing named "Bressingham Steam and Gardens", quoted direct from their own website. So how anyone is to know which entity does which is beyond me. Again, more thought is needed...

There are refreshments nearby from the Steam Museum or Garden Centre at reasonable prices and also gifts are also available from the gift shop at the Steam Museum aswell at reasonable. Overall this is a worthwhile gardens to visit and one that will...
Read moreThis is the first time here for 35 years. I enjoyed the visit but the signs telling you where to go to get In and where to get the trains was very poor, even the map board was not helpful Better signals would have made the visit 5 star. It could be better with a clean and tidy up but steam and coal don't help. The toilets was very clean though. Please don't get me wrong I really enjoyed it and will be going back soon. It won't be another 35 years this year or at Christmas with any luck. Didn't get to the gardens as time was short. I think we...
