Curly Wurly Garden

LR-16610 - The walled garden at Hinton Amper House and Gardens

 

I was going to spend ages merging two images or tidying the wrought iron work, but I liked the blur and the distance clarity of the tree, hope you do to :)

 

End of the day, temperature was dropping as was the light, shot just before the wicked, wicker fence Happy Fence with an escape route !

Gardens

The vision of one man, Hinton Ampner is best known for its magnificent garden with stunning views to the south.

 

The elegant country house was remodelled by Ralph Dutton, the 8th and last Lord Sherborne, in 1960 after a devastating fire, and contains his collection of Georgian and Regency furniture, Italian pictures and objets d'art.

 

The gardens were also laid out by Ralph Dutton and are widely acknowledged as a masterpiece of 20th-century design, mixing formal and informal planting, providing all year round interest. citation Have to say the place would have looked amazing during the day only there for an hour and a bit
