The first visit of 2025 got off to a very good start as we enjoyed very smooth and traffic jam free journeys to and from Packwood House. The weather also played its part with the sun shining down all day.
Packwood is a lovely venue boasting a very interesting main house where enthusiastic volunteers kept you well informed. The group were all given timed entry tickets for their tours which begin from 11.00 am at fifteen minute intervals.
As the sun continued to shine the organised garden tours proved popular with the group while others enjoyed the lakeside walk or walks which took you round the beautiful local countryside where new born lambs and spring flowers adorned the fields. A lovely setting.
There was still plenty of time to visit the large well stocked cafe, the plant sale area and gift shop.
Leaving promptly at 4.00 pm we were safely back on Hucknall Market shortly after 5.30 pm after a very good day out.
