This family's experience:

Activities: We hiked to Polesden Lacey. We only took an external look at the building, not entering the paid park grounds. We also visited the attached Hofladen café and bought some picnic items

Highlights: We enjoyed the views of the landscape and the picnic we had. "The godlike orange cake from the Hofladen reconciled me with British cuisine." ✨
