Letwell, near Worksop, is home to an award-winning garden which will open for the National Garden Scheme this weekend.

Visitors are asked to pre-book to visit the garden at 8 Church Lane, as parking is extremely limited. See ngs.org.uk to book a visit slot from noon-4pm on Saturday and Sunday, July 22-23.

The garden, measuring about a third of an acre, was professionally designed by Sarah Murch, of Ellicar Gardens.
