An excellent day out with so much to see and do
Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens的点评
点评：This week was the first time we had visited since pre-Covid, which is our mistake especially since we are very local. It is easy to lookup online of what is here and how, when and why it was created. However for TripAdvisor it’s the practicalities that are more useful to review.
When you arrive, head for the smaller reception hut rather than the shop (with the grand sculpture outside) which we did by mistake, (it does look like the entrance). Once inside we went for a stroll around the grounds, where ordinary footwear was adequate and the areas that are possibly unsuitable for some to navigate are well signposted.
The costs of entry to Leonardslee is not prohibitive, but do remember that parking is an extra cost if staying beyond 45 minutes. There are ample car bays, but do download the RingGo parking app to your mobile phone in advance, rather than have to mess around sorting it out when you arrive.
The gardens are amazing and even though I am not a keen gardener, I appreciated the sights and smells that assault you as you wander through the grounds. Remember to pick up the free map as you enter so as not to get lost (and of course tale your camera with you).
We had lovely coffees and cake at the Clocktower Cafe. Here you can sit inside or out and enjoy a choice of food and beverages, whilst browsing on the free WiFi which is available. Of course there is a (massive) well stocked shop, which sells a wide variety of items along with the wine from their own vineyard on the estate.
The Sculpture Park set in the gardens is visually engrossing. This ‘Walk of Life’ exhibition gives an alternative opportunity to view the artwork in the open. Don’t forget that Leonardslee is dog friendly, so they will enjoy the stroll as well. Everywhere you go the staff are friendly and chatty, helping you with information.
Our only disappoint was the wallaby feeding experience. For us it had been one of the reasons we had returned after so long. At the appointed time the two keepers arrived and deposited bowls of food on the ground just above their house. The view for the spectators was through a thick fence near the vineyard. This was a real shame, especially as Leonardslee appears to have built a special viewing pen a little bit further away. Here they have created to a wonderful viewing area which wasn’t used. What with this and the non-communication from the keepers to the visitors, it failed to be educational, educational, or special in anyway. What a shame. !
Still the gardens are well worth a visit, especially if you like your flowers and flora !

翻译：本周是我们自疫情爆发以来第一次来这里，这是我们的错误，尤其是因为我们是当地人。在网上很容易查到这里有什么东西，以及它是怎样、何时以及为什么创建的。然而，对于 TripAdvisor 来说，评论实用性更有用。
到达后，请前往较小的接待小屋，而不是商店（外面有宏伟的雕塑），我们错误地去了那里（它看起来确实像入口）。进去后，我们在场地周围散步，普通的鞋子就足够了，可能不适合某些人行走的区域都有很好的路标。
进入 Leonardslee 的费用并不高，但请记住，如果停留超过 45 分钟，停车需要额外付费。停车位充足，但请提前将 RingGo 停车应用程序下载到您的手机上，而不是到达后再费劲地整理。
花园非常漂亮，虽然我并不是一个园艺爱好者，但我很欣赏漫步在花园中时扑面而来的美景和气味。记得在进入时领取免费地图，以免迷路（当然，还要带上相机）。
我们在 Clocktower Cafe 享用了美味的咖啡和蛋糕。在这里，您可以坐在室内或室外，享用各种食物和饮料，同时浏览可用的免费 WiFi。当然，这里还有一家（大型）货源充足的商店，出售各种各样的商品以及庄园自有葡萄园出产的葡萄酒。
花园中的雕塑公园令人着迷。这个“生命之行”展览提供了另一种在户外观看艺术品的机会。别忘了 Leonardslee 对狗很友好，所以它们也会喜欢散步。无论您走到哪里，工作人员都很友好、健谈，会为您提供信息。
我们唯一失望的是喂食小袋鼠的体验。对我们来说，这是我们这么久之后再次回来的原因之一。在约定的时间，两位饲养员到达并将一碗碗食物放在他们房子上方的地面上。观众只能透过葡萄园附近的厚厚的栅栏才能看到。这真是太遗憾了，尤其是 Leonardslee 似乎在稍远的地方建造了一个特殊的观赏围栏。他们在这里创造了一个很棒的观赏区，但却没有使用。由于这个原因，以及饲养员与游客之间没有沟通，它在任何方面都无法起到教育作用、教育意义或特别之处。真可惜。！
不过，花园还是值得一游的，特别是如果你喜欢花草植物的话！
