Blithewold Mansion, Garden & Arboretum
Blithewold Mansion, Garden & Arboretum Review
Starting with a sea of daffodils in April, the grounds of this 33-acre estate and historic public garden situated on Bristol Harbor bloom with color all the way until fall. Highlights include fruity fragant pink chestnut roses and one of larget giant sequoia trees on the East Coast. The 45-room English style manor house is filled with original antiques and artwork.
