Goldney Hall


Sunday 26 April - Another open day event. Ian and I visited Goldney Hall last year on its open day and the weather was a bit rough, however it was lovely and I was determined to go again this year. We met up with some friends and went to the hall together. The mansion and estate are now owned by Bristol University and they use part of the grounds for dormitories. Hidden within the city is an amazing walled garden with follies and a grotto. We had a lovely time wandering around admiring the garden and the architecture. It was a bit cold but a definite improvement on last years weather and I was quite happy to take home a few plants from the plant sale for my balcony.
