It wasn't all about kissing stones to become eloquent - the grounds are gorgeous and green. (we ran into one of the groundskeepers spraying pesticide or fertilizer or something and I had a laugh because for a moment I thought he was literally painting the plants green.)
Things to see: the ruined castle (under renovations), which is obligatory... But also things like the druid's cave, the wishing stair, the witch's rock (and it's offerings)... Oh, and the poison garden, which is exactly what it sounds like: a garden showcasing poisonous plants.
I can't do the place justice with words typed out on an iPod keyboard. I will need to make an image-heavy post on the subject when I return. That's a promise.
