… on a sunny Sunday afternoon
The garden’s initial creation lay in Colonel Harry Clive’s wartime decision of 1940, to provide his ailing wife – Dorothy – with a ‘series of interesting walks’ as she battled with Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately Dorothy died in 1942 but Colonel Clive continued work apace throughout the 1940s and 1950s, especially in The Quarry Garden which covers approximately 2 acres.
This is on my list of places to visit. It looks wonderful
It is well worth a visit.
The bluebell meadow is about to show its colours. The laburnum arch is well worth a visit if you can time it just right
