WALKING | An Afternoon Walk Around Cholmondeley Castle Gardens

The Gothic architecture of Cholmondeley Castle

After a difficult week culminating in devastating family news, I sought solace in the grounds of Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire.

Sunday afternoon, bathed in sunlight, the grounds were a delight to photograph, bright and serene in stark contrast to my own grief. I’ve always been a strong believer in the healing power of nature, so heading outdoors at the first opportunity was a natural reaction for me.

There is wisdom in trees. We shared a moment.

Cholmondeley Castle is a stunning country house, built in the Gothic style, by William Turner in 1805. Set within beautiful grounds, including formal gardens a lake and a pond, the estate plays host to the annual Cholmondeley Power and Speed Festival, taking place this year on the 10th – 12th June.

With Snowdrops, Crocus, Daffodils and more already in full bloom, many of the trees were laden with buds. A reminder that we are all just part of an endless cycle.

In June, as part of the Power and Speed event, ticket holders will be given the opportunity to camp in the grounds of the estate.
