We spent an enjoyable day at the Bressingham Gardens and Steam Museum yesterday with three of our grandchildren and took lots of images.
The following posts are a selection of the pictures I took of the gardens which I thought would be worthwhile sharing. All the images are sized to approximately 1920 x 1280 pixels so can be viewed much larger than they appear in the posts.

Re: The Gardens at Bressingham
Thanks for posting a good selection of photos displaying the wonderful gardens at Bressingham BB. It is many years since we visited Bressingham gardens and again this year I had marked it down as a place to visit and yes we still haven't managed a visit,seeing your photos gives impetus for that visit.
Whilst I cannot remember how long ago it was we went to Bressingham gardens,I do know my two girls were small and we had a ride on a model steam train around the gardens. The stoker and train driver was Alan Bloom himself,not sure if he is still alive. I once read the story of how Alan Bloom created the Bressingham gardens,it was a very enjoyable and worthwhile read. I also have books written by his son Adrian Bloom who himself has been on various garden TV programs,Adrian created Foggy Bottom where he lives,I wondered if some of your photos BB are from his gardens,again another place I have vowed to visit and still haven't.
I understand the Nursery had been taken over by Wyevale,not sure if the Blooms still have the gardens etc?
