An absolute Gem
Sezincote Gardens were a wonderful find. The landscaping is just beautiful, with glorious vistas at every turn and a wonderful layout that keeps you meandering through the site. We spend far longer here than I expected and enjoyed every moment. The Orangery is particularly lovely, and the cakes were to die for. I would recommend this to anyone in the area as a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
