- 14 Leys Ave has two lawns, mature trees, and herbaceous borders. Brick pillars with climbing plants lead through to a small orchard with a vegetable plot and greenhouse.

- 16 Leys Ave is a gravel garden with acer trees, pond and stream with a clinker built boat with flower boxes. The sweet peas should be in full flower and a delight to see.

There will be a fee of £5 to cover all the gardens which are in close walking distance - and tea and cake will be available in two gardens with gluten free options also available at the Hostellarie.
