This is a very pleasant garden and wooded area close to Alderley Edge. It isn't massive but there are a few trails to walk through the trees and a nice walled garden area. They had little backpacks with binoculars and birdwatching cards for the kids when we visited last. There are also basic ice creams and coffee on sale in the small hut at the car park. If you want to extend your walk, you can go across the fields towards the National Trust car park at Alderley Edge.

You will find a sense of Peace and calm here, you can buy refreshments in the welcome building , there's a walled garden, ponds with bridges crossing , wooded areas to walk, toilets behind the walled garden, great day for small children to explore & let loose in the walled garden area, rope swing & a children's slide in the woods. If you feel like walking further away from hare Hill, there's a Permissive Path to Alderley Edge, which is a 2 mile walk away. The driveway entrance is a single path road which is very narrow and full of potholes, so take it steady, parking is free

A lot seems to have been done to improve this NT site since I last visited many years ago. Beautifully designed walled garden with mainly white flowers, surrounded by wood-like parkland with winding paths and interesting plants. It's not exciting but beautiful and relaxing. Two interesting modern works of sculpture. Helpful staff at the small centre, there are also second-hand books to buy or read in the bench nook in the walled garden. Parking appears to be free, entry to the park and garden £9 at full price currently.

Very nice walled garden but the park needs something else to add to the experience. Perhaps a cafe although it was nice to get a coffee & ice cream at the reception hut before leaving a small one page map showing facilities toilets etc would be good. Friendly staff & eager to help. Won't be rushing back but will visit again sometime remembering the narrow roads & farm traffic.

Although not the largest national trust site, around 10 acres, this was still an enjoyable experience. The wall garden and surrounding areas are very picturesque, and this would be a nice place to have a picnic. There is a small playground for children located near the walled garden. In all, it took around 40 minutes to walk around the grounds. The staff are very friendly and informative. There is no cafe, but the main kiosk does sell hot beverages and snacks. There is sufficient carparking(which is free), and national trust members can enter free of charge. However, for non-members, the £9 entry fee,given its size, is a bit steep. The entry fee for children is £4.50.
