A Question of Taste
An autumn wander through Wisley that reminded me that gardens, like art, are deeply personal.
Sheffield Park in Autumn
It was busy and noisy but for a well-being walk at the end of October, it was hard to beat.
Exploring Snowshill: A House of Collections, A Garden of Rooms
The most eccentric of English manor houses coupled with a restrained garden.
Sezincote – An Indian Dream in the Cotswolds
I went for the house - I stayed for the garden. Both are enchanting.
Hartland Abbey: a surprise at every turn
House, gardens, woodland walk and beach - what more could you want on a summer’s day?

When you study garden history there are a certain number of gardens talked about that you simply have to visit. This is one of them.

Blenheim Palace is one of those places you feel you should visit at least once. It’s not my favourite house or garden but it is most certainly worth visiting.
Memories at Rosemoor, Devon
Visiting the same garden at different times of the year - it’s like seeing an old friend again in a different context.
Lutyens and Great Dixter
A second trip to Great Dixter - this time to visit the Lutyens wing.
