A bit of a walk, but there are lakes with ducks, cormorants and elusive kingfishers, always a Cruftian plethora of assorted dogs in the wild bit, more varieties of tree than Kew has, a formal bit with roses, bandstand and tea room, a fine greenhouse that has been rescued from desuetude by Linda Pearson, and occasional music, plant stalls or events.

Really good, highly fattening, meaty, veggy or vegan with the best chips and great puds. If you sit with your back to the restaurant on one of those benches, you will be looking at the sea.
