From Ledburn to Marsh Gibbon and back (50 miles) with this cafe just over half away around. A welcome stop just before the two long hills into Whitchurch and Cubblington. A great place to stop and refuel! Good coffee, good food, friendly staff, pretty village and just as important, friendly locals!

For the light festival the Parterre was changed into a light spectacular in keeping with the illuminated house. Waddesdon is famous for its Carpet Bedding and every spring and summer we change the design of the beds on the Parterre and on either side of the South Fountain. A French-inspired formal garden, a parterre is made up of a symmetrical pattern of beds set off by mown grass and contained by neat pathways and low clipped hedges. Usually designed to be seen from above, in our case from the raised terrace and the main reception rooms and bedrooms on the south side of the Manor. In the centre sits a magnificent fountain, originally made for an Italian palace in Colorno. The parterre was restored in 1994 to designs by Beth Rothschild. In 2000 Waddesdon won the Europa Nostra award for βthe extraordinary re-creation with modern techniques of a major Victorian gardenβ.
