well worth a visit - we did wentworth and pot house hamlet in the same day. Really beautiful.

wentworth is a really wonderful place, the gardens are amazing, it's only 5 miles from Pot House Hamlet and as the person above said, we decided to do the two in the same day which made a wonderful day out, morning tea at wentworth and lunch at the potting Shed cafe.
