Last weekend I was in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, on a family visit, and we went along to visit Peckover House, s National Trust property in the town. The house was built as a merchant's house in 1722, and for 150 years of its history it was owned by the Peckover family. They were Quakers, and they operated a bank from the premises from 1792 until 1876.
I loved the gardens which are around two acres in size, although they are laid out in such a way that they seem to be far bigger. All in all it was a very enjoyable visit, and a good way to spend a couple of hours relaxing. I should also add that our trip to the Red Barn Tea Rooms was also very enjoyable, even if a little fattening!
I loved this tree with its almost white bark.
The gardens stretched a long way, with plenty to see.
The borders were well laid out, and although my photos don't really portray it well enough, there was plenty of colour. There were two very active beehives in the gardens, and you could purchase honey from them in the Gift Shop.
