Visiting this summer

Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now

  • 🌞Midsummer — early morning visits most comfortable; look for deer fawns in quieter clearings
  • Historic character is a year-round quality here — summer brings its own atmosphere to the setting
  • Bistro Laz — a good base for a longer summer day out

Good to know
