VIEWS OF THE GARDENS

Lake

The gardens have many features which make it an inspiring place to paint. There is an old mill, a lake and islands, woodland, a walled kitchen garden, herbaceous borders, summer houses and old farm buildings nearby. All this provides a rich variety of subjects for the artist.

This Early C19 house (not open) and garden with original layout is of interest to garden historians as well as artists. Many acres with magnificent mature trees, woodland walk, wide lawns and terrace with Victorian fernery.

Gardens open 7th & 8th June 2008

Streamside garden leading to exceptionally romantic lake with islands, wildfowl, trout, koy carp and a watermill, adjoining the walled kitchen garden. Long herbaceous border, yew and huge beech hedges. Flowers and grasses are grown for drying, several plant and other stalls.
