SUMMARY:Coach Visit - The Newt\, Hadspen\, Somerset
DESCRIPTION:A wonderful opportunity to explore the Newt estate which until recently was only available to hotel guests or members of the Newt.\nDo book early as this visit is expected to fill quickly! The Newt estate includes the seventeenth-century Hadspen house which is set in 30\nacres of gardens. It is a working estate\, owned since 2013 by the South African billionaire Koos Bekker and his wife Karen\, the former editor of South Africa’s Elle Decoration magazine.\nOpened as a luxury hotel\, the Newt’s beautiful gardens\, woodland\, cyder orchards\, and eating facilities\, are now open free to RHS members\n(Tuesdays and Wednesdays)\, with non-RHS members charged a small fee. The extensive gardens include the Parabola Garden\, which\, designed by Patrice Taravella\, lies within a D-shaped walled garden containing a maze of 460 apple trees with 267 cultivars depicting the English counties. Free tickets for a small Garden Tour or a Bee Safari may be obtained on arrival\, dependent on availability\, but everyone can roam around the beautiful grounds\, or visit the nearby Roman villa. Members and guests can also enjoy a light lunch or snacks at the Cyder Bar. There are no facilities for picnics. \nTravelling to The Newt\, Somerset: A coach has been arranged for the journey down to the Newt. Members and guests should arrive at the Newbold Comyn car park (behind the Leisure Centre) no later than 8.30 am. The car park is free of charge. There will be comfort stops at the\nGloucester Services on the way to Somerset and back. The return journey by coach will leave at 4.30 pm\, returning to Leamington at approximately 7.30 pm\, depending on the traffic. \nCost: WGT Members + RHS members £40.00\, WGT Members + non-RHS £65.00: Guests: £45 RHS members\, £70 non-RHS \nIf you are a RHS member\, please remember to bring your card. \n  \nBook here\n\nImage: Courtesy of the Newt.
