Today we head south to Trentham Estate where there’s a lot to explore.  First, there’s the Shopping Village - browse 77 timber lodges housing amazing shops, cafes and restaurants all filled to the rafters with treats.  Next, there’s Trentham Garden Centre – simply massive, offering a huge range of indoor and outdoor lifestyle and gardening products. You can also visit the famous Trentham Gardens, entrance fee not included. The new-look gardens have matured into some of the finest in Britain.  The contemporary revival of the famous Italian Gardens was led by renowned designer and multi-Chelsea gold-medal winner Tom Stuart-Smith.  To the east of the Italian Gardens are the Rivers of Grass and the adjacent Floral Labyrinth.   Both these schemes were designed by eminent Dutch plantsman, and Chelsea gold-medal winner, Piet Oudolf.  Don’t forget to Discover the Fairies!  Take the Fairy Trail and keep your eyes peeled as you walk around the beautiful mile long lake, and through the woodland and gardens where the fairies live.
