These secret gardens in Norfolk are opening to the public in July 2024 and there is something for everyone.
The National Garden Scheme (NGS) gives visitors access to more than 3,500 exceptional private gardens in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands.
It raises money for nursing and health charities through admissions, teas and cake.
