Adlington Hall 27^th May 2012 10.30am - 4pm

Fair and gardens: £3.00

Home of the Legh family since 1315, Adlington Hall is one of the oldest and most historic Cheshire houses. The 2,000 acre Estate contains parkland landscaped in the 18th century in the style of 'Capability Brown' complete with ha-ha. The Lime Avenue dating from 1688 is one of the oldest surviving in Britain and leads to a woodland Wilderness with winding paths, temples, bridges and follies in a rococo manner. A path through the laburnum Arcade leads into the formal Rose Garden, then on to the Maze created in English Yew. The Father Tiber water Garden provides a peaceful haven with its ponds, fountains and water cascade and the newly created parterre provides a colourful addition to the east wing. Other features include a large herbaceous border, rockeries, specimen trees, azaleas and rhododendrons.

The plant fair will be held in front of the house again this year and will feature even more top quality nurseries specialising in a varied range of plants with something for every plant lover.

	The fair and garden are open from 10.30am to 4pm and entry to both is at the special low price of £3.00 (normally £5.00)
	There will be free guided tours of the garden by the Head Gardener, Anthony O'Grady throughout the day.
