Cadhay House is a Tudor Manor, noted by Country Life as “one of the top ten manor houses in the country”. The house is the backdrop to the gardens, which we will be visiting. There are medieval fish ponds, large borders, and a lawn laid out and planted with Irish yews leading to the fish ponds. 
Plants of note include an avenue of limes, Gunnera manicata, Cotinus coggygnia, Cosmea bipinnatus, Magnolia grandiflora, Dahlia hybrids and Echinacea purpurea.
Behind the house, the walled kitchen gardens have been given over to allotments where a magnificent display of homegrown vegetables, wigwams of sweet peas, gladioli or glorious dahlias can be seen.
The gardens are fairly compact so the visit needn't involve much walking. There are good, level paths and the rest is easy walking on grass. We'll meet there at opening time, which is 2pm, and then reconvene for refreshments at the tearoom around 4pm onwards as closing time is 5pm. The entry fee is £6, paid at the entrance.;
