Ripley Castle grounds are a pleasant place to visit at any time of the year. In autumn we can especially enjoy the herbaceous borders and vegetable garden with its unusual vegetables and fruit trees. There is a circular walk in the deer park around the ornamental lake. The veteran trees are magnificent. Easy walking. Toilets and a tea room are available.
