A nice day spent wandering around the gardens, the Queen’s private apartments overlook the herbaceous border and on towards the lake, which takes up a large part of the gardens open to the public. The bridge leads to an island that is home to five beehives, it’s been left to grow wild and is home to numerous animals and nesting birds. The guides were very helpful and knowledgeable and it’s clear that the gardens are very important to the Royal Family. A cloudy day with a cool breeze.
