What a wonderful day of touring. Susie couldn’t join, but Paul drove over from nearby Birmingham. Had plans to take in much of the Cotswolds – but that didn’t happen. Regardless, what we did get to made the day.
First, it was Hidcote Gardens. Now this what you have in mind when you talk of the great English gardens! Different ‘rooms’, walkways, stairs, assorted garden structures. Oh, my – what a visual feast.
from Wikipedia -“Hidcote Manor Garden is a garden in the United Kingdom, located at the village of Hidcote Bartrim, near Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire. It is one of the best-known and most influential Arts and Crafts gardens in Britain, with its linked “rooms” of hedges, rare trees, shrubs and herbaceous borders. Created by Lawrence Johnston, it is owned by the National Trust and is open to the public. “
