Seven programmes 2: Sizergh Castle
The gardens which surround the castle are superb. However, while the shrubs, roses and great variation of perennials will always excite and delight, as will the new wild garden area that overlooks the 100-year-old lake, the great joy is surely the massive rock garden created almost 60 years ago.
Professor Alan Gemmell expresses something of the pleasure Sizergh has Riven him over the years.
