It was a glorious spring day for our outing to Caerhayes Castle. The gardens were at their absolute best with some magnificent magnolias, azaleas and early rhododendrons, while the grassy banks were smothered in primoses and bluebells. After an al fresco lunch in the courtyard we had a guided tour of the ground floor of the castle, which included being taken through a door hidden in panelling, into a room with a huge collection of mineral samples.
