View to side of Cloisters


round to the left of the Cloisters, going towards the back gate and greenhouse.


the greenhouse area was out of bounds due to the raised bed boarding on the right needing replacing.

This Pineapple lily was placed to stop entry.


Then you are at the folly and the centre of a choice of ways to go.


Carry on round to the back right hand side of garden and this spot to sit and dream or


Or turn back towards the lychgate and into the formal box garden.


The formal box garden , the box needs cutting but no time before open day.


The view from the bench in the box garden looking towards the Lychgate.


the statue of David's head is adorned with a flower from the weed , bell vine.


Then from the side of the box garden back onto the cloisters to head back to house.

Everyone was very complementary, asking about design, folly and plants etc. So had a lovely day with a few hundred visitors.
