Picton Castle Gardens — Attraction in Uzmaston, Boulston and Slebech

Arriving for its opening time of 10am, there was plenty of parking spaces for even a busy day, and a short walk brings to the entrance kiosk where the helpful attendant explained that the entry ticket could be used for revisits for up to a week, and that the castle could only be visited in the afternoon. Nearby the old stable yard houses a lovely restaurant (with a lovely selection of drink, cakes and hot food); an old lawnmowers museum; a small garden plant sales area; and a room full of pre-loved books! A walk around outside of the dominant castle, shows a mix of impressive building stages, with the 700 year old part being stone, and the main Georgian ‘residential’ part being rendered in what possibly was a pinkish colour. Beyond the large grass area is a wooded valley, filled with an impressive mix of varied and unusual shrubs and trees … the rhododendrons and azaleas were starting to blossom well, creating splashes of bright colour within the dark woodland. As i walked around the woodland, the path led through a newly planted fernery, to a lovely ornamental walled garden. The old potting sheds have even being turned into an indoor fernery … for me, this area of the whole garden was definitely a highlight.

Visited today and very over priced £14:50 just for the gardens/ground then you have to pay extra for a house tour.... Really need to lower your prices if you want more visitors. Cafe, The lady who served the ice creams was lovely and very polite though. We came across the little sandwich stall near the gardens and we had some toasties and drink, the Toasties were lovely and very fairly priced. Also the gentleman serving was very welcoming, friendly and very polite. Considering it's a dog friendly place and the amount of dogs there on our visit (including my 2) you'd of thought there would be more bins dotted around for things like dog poop and general rubbish however there is only 3 bins one by the toilet. One by the sandwich van and one near the cafe. Easter trail was okay and the little one we had with us enjoyed finding the different stamps. Beautiful grounds very well looked after.

It's just a shame they have over priced...
