HARTLAND
ABBEY BLUEBELL SUNDAYS
18th
and
25th April 2010 11am - 5pm
In 2010 we are holding two Bluebell
Sundays by popular request! The bluebells stretch from the Walled
Gardens to the sea. Visitors will also be able to enjoy a new
walk along a path recently discovered in the undergrowth; this
path had been lost since the First World War. We are reopening
this for the first time in 2010, creating a lovely circular walk
from the Abbey to the Gazebo and beach. For those who have not
visited us before it is also a chance to walk to ‘Barton Cottage’
which was the home of the Dashwood family in the recent BBC production
of ‘Sense and Sensibility’, filmed here in 2007.
The bluebells at Hartland Abbey
have always been legendary and have been hugely enjoyed by our
regular visitors to the Abbey. This year on Sunday 18th and 25th
April we will be opening at the much reduced price of £3.50
for adults, children under 12 free. We love dogs and hope that
you will bring as many as possible!
There should be lots of lovely plants out in
the gardens then; the early rhododendrons, camellias, later bulbs
and early perennials amongst others. There will be plenty of opportunity
for walking with 3½ miles within the Abbey grounds.
The Tea Rooms will be serving hot pasties, light
lunches and home made cream teas. All the proceeds go to St Nectan’s
Church, Stoke towards the upkeep of this wonderful church which
is really worth a visit. It is within walking distance of the
Abbey or a short distance by car. Do come!
ADMISSION CHARGES:
ADULTS £3.50 CHILDREN, UNDER 12 (AND DOGS!) FREE
