As the sun teases us with some warm summer days, now is the time to go and get your picnic baskets out and visit some of the serene parks that Essex has to offer. With many spectacular green spaces, we certainly have plenty of choice in our county. One such place is Hyde Hall just southeast of Chelmsford, and it is definitely worth visiting.
Found in the rural countryside, Hyde Hall has 365 acres of land to explore, enough space to find something new all year round. Visitors have many areas they can enjoy, discovering the huge variety of drought-resistant plants in the Dry Garden, stopping to smell the roses in the Hilltop Garden, or uncovering exotic veggies from all over the world in the Growth Vegetable Garden.

The busiest area was the thatched barn, there was a bit of a long queue for the BBQ but it was worth it! We followed our burger with a tasty ice cream and washed it down with a glass of Prosecco. The gardens themselves are looking beautiful at the moment, full of colour and scent.” Meanwhile, Laura C added “For you if you are interested in flowers, planting schemes, tranquil settings, sustainability and the famous dry garden.
These gardens are stunning, so much to se.
