点评:Had great expectations of Greencombe after seeing photos and reading reviews but we were left disappointed?
It was an hour drive from where we lived and the sign posting wasn’t exactly brilliant but after negotiating a very uneven pot holed lane to the gardens approach, we arrived.
Parking was an issue if it’s a busy day so be aware,immediately you are drawn by the fantastic views across the bay and the lush green fields.
After paying the entrance fee we were briefly informed of the gardens history and how to explore around the site,but unfortunately not given any helpful map?
Following our long drive there was no toilet facilities or any refreshments on offer which was a very poor show!
The immediate garden was interesting with some well established tropical species along with a veg garden etc.
The Rhodadendrums ,Camelias and Acers were in bloom but going over by end of May,so an early April visit would be more exciting.
The pathways were quite dangerous in places and certainly not for visitors with walking difficulties or wheelchairs,there could be many more improvements made and facilities offered in our opinion considering it’s advertised as a garden of special significance as an attraction for tourists and enthusiasts,we were left feeling very disappointed and couldn’t wait to find the nearest restaurant with the full facilities on offer one would expect these days.

从我们住的地方开车过去要一个小时,而且路标并不十分清晰,但在经过一条坑坑洼洼的凹凸不平的小路后,我们到达了花园入口。
如果是繁忙的日子,停车是个问题,所以请注意,您会立即被海湾对面和郁郁葱葱的绿色田野的美景所吸引。
支付入场费后,我们简要了解了花园的历史以及如何探索花园,但不幸的是没有提供任何有用的地图?
经过长途驾车,没有厕所设施或任何茶点,这是一个非常糟糕的景象!
眼前的花园很有趣,有一些成熟的热带物种以及蔬菜园等。
杜鹃花、山茶花和枫树正在盛开,但要到五月底才会盛开,所以四月初去会更令人兴奋。
有些地方的道路相当危险,尤其不适合行动不便或坐轮椅的游客,我们认为,这里还可以进行更多的改进,提供更多的设施,因为这里被宣传为一个对游客和爱好者具有特殊意义的花园,我们感到非常失望,迫不及待地想找到最近的餐厅,提供如今人们所期望的全部设施。
