Heritage Open Day: Take a look around this wonderful house and gardens owned and cared for by the National Trust. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and countryside, Packwood was described by a guest in the 1930s as ‘a house to dream of, a garden to dream in’. Lovingly restored at the beginning of the 20th century by Graham Baron Ash, you can discover the detail behind the man, his passion for collecting and his collection. The gardens include brightly coloured, ‘mingled style’ herbaceous borders, famous sculpted yews and an 18th-century gentleman’s kitchen garden.
