Well, it turns out, places like that exist. This past weekend, I went to The Secret Gardens of Sandwich. For 25 years, the gardens surrounding The Salutation manor house and hidden behind old city walls were neglected and became badly overgrown. Then, thankfully, the property was purchased (rescued) by its current owners, who have spent the last four years restoring it. From what the locals say, the transformation is remarkable.
Now, it's a beautiful and peaceful spot in the middle of Sandwich. If you go, check out the White Garden, the Vegetable Gardens, and the Main Perennial Borders. Then, grab a bite (raspberries and clotted cream!) in the Tea Room. You will be impressed.
