These extensive gardens were once home to the gardener, Edward Bowles and should be at their best in Spring  Continuing after lunch past Capel Manor, along Whitewebbs Lane and through Whitewebbs Wood back to the station.  There is a moderate climb to and from Forty Hall and mud can be encountered.  Opt-out at lunchtime possible from Turkey Street Station about 20 minutes walk away.
