NOW FULLY BOOKED NO FURTHER PLACES AVAILABLE
Update: If you are coming up from the Cambridge, Huntingdon, North Essex area a group of O/C Club members are meeting up in front of Arbuckles, Ely, between 09:00 and 09:15 before making their way to The Baytree Garden Centre for lunch, if you wish to join them please feel free to do so.*
Due to the popularity of the 2 previous breakfats meets and runs, The North West Norfolk Group has organised a Breakfast Meet at the Baytree Garden Centre, (Hilgay), followed by a 43 mile run, via Feltwell, Lakenheath, Lackford Green, Kentford and Newmarket to the NT Anglesey Abbey and Gardens, (Nr Cambridge), on the 08th October. Which of course means its time to let you know the full details and get your orders in for breakfast.
Angelesey Abbey was owned by Lord Fairhaven from 1926 until his death in 1966. During this time, he created a comfortable country home with an eclectic collection of antiquities dating from the early Tudor period through to the 1960s. However, the building has a long and fascinating history that stretches back nine centuries.
After purchasing the Anglesey Abbey estate unseen at auction in the 1920s, Lord Fairhaven began the process of transforming the garden into a spectacular seasonal display – something that still exists to this day. Look out for the use of straight, tree-lined avenues with a sculpture at the end to draw your eye, or the use of circles and symmetry in the Formal Garden and Dahlia Garden. When exploring the estate, look out for the array of statues – widely acknowledged as one of the finest collections of garden statuary in the country.
