After Dunham Massey's enchanting woodland garden I wasn't really expecting to find another garden with such a wonderful display - but RHS Bridgewater has another similar one. Hundreds (thousands?) of daffodil bulbs have been planted in the orchard area, and I happened to catch them at their best.
Not all of the fruit trees were blossoming but those that were lent a special feel to the area.
Wandering round the walled gardens, I found more daffodils and other bulbs - anemones, narcissi, hyacinths, and the showy crown imperial fritillaries.
This large pond in the centre of the walled garden was my favourite spot when I visited last year, but I think I may have found a new one - this small pagoda situated in the Chinese waterfall garden. Work is underway on a larger building nearby which I hope will be just as attractive.
The garden itself is under development but there are plants on the banks of the stream, and stepping stones to cross if you're brave enough.
We started our visit with pizza at one cafe and ended it with cake at another. Whar could be better>
