I seem to recall Kiftsgate having a rather unusual choice of opening days. At any rate, I've only managed to get there once whereas I've been to Hidcote several times on the way back from a visit to my work's Head Office, almost always on days when Kiftsgate was closed.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Hello to all Hidcote like any NT garden is not in the 2 for 1 list, but only gardens in private hands.
Strange enough, one might think that Kiftsgate gets the same visitors as it’s opposite Hidcote, but that is not the case. It used to be part of the international Cotswold bus tours but since Covid there are not many bus tours.
@JennyJ Kiftsgate heavily relies on volunteers as the owner doesn’t have the financial background that Hidcote has got. NT has outsourced almost everything like food and the shops.
I didn’t want to accuse of cheating any of you. All what I wanted to give is an impression that we got yesterday.
