Cheslyn House & Gardens

Reviewed By Attia317 - London, United Kingdom

I have lived in the area for several years and never knew this little hidden gem existed until recently . Tucked away in a quiet residential road . Beautiful laid out and maintained miniature gardens open to the public . Planted with lots of English garden favourites and with lots of benches in quiet corners to sit and enjoy the gardens , There is also a small aviary and a pond with large ornamental carp The gardens also offer a small car park to the side . A little gem tucked away and hidden in the hustle and bustle of town .

Came here with my two youngest (aged 11 and 17) and really enjoyed the walk. The sculptures were really fun and they also enjoyed the swing and the wooden xylophone. A perfect couple of hours of enjoyment and fresh air!

Ebury Way

Reviewed By 968nicholash - London, United Kingdom

This lovely tree lined path has gorgeous views of lakes, parkland and the Grand Union Canal, all teeming with wildlife, especially birds. Even after this incredibly wet winter, it’s one of the few walking routes in the area that is still easily passable, though you do need the appropriate footwear in a few places. I walked it twice this week and was lucky to enjoy it in bright sunshine. It’ll be even better once there are leaves on the trees.
