Lanhydrock

This is Lanhydrock, near Bodmin in Cornwall.


It has excruciatingly beautiful formal gardens, well stocked mixed borders, a mature
woodland walk with trees from around the globe,
as well as jolly nice lunches.

My Companion and I had Robartes Pie, which is a thick, wholemeal crust filled
with a layer of apple, West Country ham, topped with
cheesy mashed potato.

Mmmmmm

The proportion of the yews and landscape is not unlike something
out of Alice in Wonderland.




A rose covered seat.


The rose close up, red buds with fragrant, pink blooms.


A beautiful door - locked, unfortunately.

From which place have you made the first two photos? From the air?
