Bressingham Gardens features over 8,000 species and varieties of plants. This 17-acre garden is divided into several distinct gardens, including Alan Bloom's Dell Garden, Adrian Bloom's Foggy Bottom Garden, The Summer Garden, Adrian's Wood, The Fragrant Garden, and The Winter Garden. The gardens were originally created to display plants from the Blooms of Bressingham Nursery. They have evolved over time with new plantings and remodels.
This is a late medieval tower of a 15th-Century-perpendicular-style of this parish church. The chancel is earlier and, despite some later window-tracery replacements, it retains some of its original 14th Century features inside.
We caught the final journey of the day on the Garden Railway. Finishing where we had started the day meandering through the Dell Garden. Wonderful.
The locomotive "Alan Bloom" was built in 1995 along with the railway. It is about to head onto the turntable and then get ready for bed!
Engine No.1 built in the Bressingham workshops. This works the Garden Railway and is appropiately named "Alan Bloom" after the garden and museums founder.
