Bostock Seat
You can plan your walk around the estate roads or get off the beaten track and head for the gum tree clearing. Whether it is a 30 minute leg stretch to "Bostocks seat" or a rigorous hour and a half through some of the best tea in the world culminating with a steep climb to the top of the "patna" to check out the most spectacluar 360° view. Should you need some advise on the best walks, just speak with the Estate Manager.
Tours of the Aislaby tea factory can be arranged so you can witness the complete process of tea manufacture.
A quite game of croquet on the lawn before afternoon tea on the verandah, or for the more energetic a hectic game of "short tennis" made all the more tricky with the slope of the lawns.
Or just sit in a shaded part of the garden with a pair of binoculars and take in some bird watching. There are a variety of books on birds of Sri Lanka, found in the library which will make this past time all the more rewarding.
If wet, a game of carpet boulle or playing cards passes many a spare
minute. or sit at the desk in the library used by past managers of the
Estate and sense history, whilst admiring the views of the gardens through
the picture windows and French doors. Here you can browse through the
Visitors Book and enjoy some of the guest comments dating back years.
