Synopsis
Formal elements include a hornbeam allee with rill and reflective obelisk, a sequence of sweeping terraces around the house inspired by Hestercombe garden that feature clipped box hedges, a circular pond and seating areas. Informal parts include an orchard and a large lake surrounded by moisture loving plants. The garden boasts a mass fine shrubs and trees including many rhododendrons, hamamelis, daphnes and dogwoods. Quirky features include a very tall sculpture of a naked man perching on a tripod of poles, surveying the view across the Blackmore Vale... a great mix of the serious and the fun in this beautiful garden.
