Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens in Summer

We haven't been to the aquatic gardens for a year due to the pandemic so decided to pay a visit in advance of their very popular (meaning very crowded) Lotus and Water Lily Festival, which takes place next weekend. It was nice to walk around the grounds once again, although we might have been a bit early for some of the flowers.
