The Manor garden

The garden of about an acre is wrapped round the house. There are many parts to the garden which are separated by old stone walls, box, yew, cotoneaster and hornbeam hedges. The garden is gardened by James and Karin and it is a monument to no time, too many dogs and chickens and too many children using it as a football, rugby and hockey pitch!

Roses scramble wherever they can, up into the trees, over the Wendy house and over arches down a rose walk leading to the children's old stone castle and the greenhouse.  There is a mound from which to survey the local hills in our wildflower meadow where we are trying to encourage as many wildflowers as possible.  We have even spotted an orchid.
