It was really sweet and good fun to spot all the gnomes! Garden centre is huge, cafe was very busy, but they managed to sort a table for 8 of us, and they were going really well with getting food out and making sure everyone was looked after. Food was good, kids meals generous.

Went to the Merry Harriers home and garden centre not realising that the original Gnomes from the original Gnome Reserve that we visited five years ago had now moved and populated the beautiful grounds and pond around the garden centre. The Gnome Walk around the large pond in the grounds is a delight and kids (as well as adults!) will love it. There is a lovely restaurant there and the home and garden centre are excellent with quality products and plants.

Lovely big garden centre with a superb local crafts shop, lots of interesting gift ideas, local produce and a nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating and good choice of food. The many different types of gnomes are really fun and free to visit and are all set out around the gardens with a stream, jungle type path, water wheel and lily pond. Something for everyone to enjoy.

The Gnome reserve is free to enter. There are about 250 gnomes (rough guess). Pleasantly set out. The garden centre sells gnomes of all sizes, as well as fairies and proper garden stuff! Lovely restaurant overlooking parts of the gnomes reserve. Only put a few photos, as its best not to spoil it.
