Alan Bloom's Gardens, Bressingham, Norfolk - 6th October 2012

The gardens of Bressingham - created by Alan Bloom - share something in common with those of Alton Towers: both are routinely ignored by visitors to their respective nearby attractions, despite being worth a visit in their own right. As we've got season tickets for Bressingham Steam Museum plus the Gardens, it's easy enough to visit mostly for the gardens for a change.
