At Pashley Manor Gardens you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

A local farmer grows acres and acres of beautiful Sunflowers. Such an amazing sight to see so many Sunflowers in one spot. They’re all facing to the East. Each looking happier than their neighbor...
C&BL #104 crosses the Conemaugh River over the Ten Acre Bridge, built in 1901, after delivering gondolas to the wire mill. During the days of Bethlehem Steel, the C&BL ran around the clock with at least a dozen active switchers. On this day, not even two hours had passed, and their day had already come to an end.
In the stunning Butchart Gardens, near Victoria, British Columbia.
The Gardens are over 100 years old and occupy 22 hectares (55 acres). Originally a limestone quarry that supplied a local cement works, the owners (Butchart family) decided to beautify the worked-out area. Designated a National Historic Site of Canada, almost one million people visit it annually.

Castle Acre takes its name from the walled castle built in the 12th-century by the Normans.
A rural village in north west Norfolk, it lies four miles north of Swaffham and to the west of the A1065 at the point where the river Nar is crossed by an ancient route known as the Peddars Way.
There is much to see in Castle Acre including the castle ruins and the Cluniac Priory.
Living in the open spaces I’m honored to be so close to the farms that grow our crops and food. Watching fields being worked in early Spring right up until the crops are in and harvested. In this case it’s the Sunflower and it’s beauty. Folks grow them in their garden as they add color and beauty. Then you’ll see where there are “Acre Upon Acre” of these happy looking, colorful, Sun drenched Sun Flowers. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe, be kind and wash those hands 🙏s.
The West front of Castle Acre Priory in Norfolk.
The main priory building dates from 1090 onwards and is a fine example of Early English/Norman architecture. Its well preserved west front is pure 1100s with the exception of the central window modified in the 1400s.
Compare with the model in the previous image.

One of the forest roads in the southern portion of this 60,000 plus acre state forest. Worth the two hour drive to get to the forest,
If anyone knows what kind of leaf this is, I would welcome and appreciate the information. I was really drawn to it for it's shape, colors & texture, but have no idea what it is. To me it's a real beauty!
The sanctuary is 570.5 acres of protected wilderness and has some of the largest and oldest giant white pines in it. The pines grow more than 125 feet tall and are 500 years old. They were quite impressive!
1066 - Normans invaded England taking battle at Hastings. William de Warenne fought in the battle and was rewarded by an estate at Acre in Norfolk among other riches.
The locals of Acre soon saw the impact of their new overlord – a castle and a Cluniac priory. The present building was started at around 1090 with the church given priority.
Here we are in the nave looking from the chancel towards the west front. The west front is the best preserved part and is considered one of England's finest.
Sadly the interior suffered badly after the 1530s dissolution of the monasteries. The finely dressed facing stones were removed over the centuries for building material. What now remain are chalk, flint and rubble cores.

The ruins of Castle Acre Castle in Norfolk – all that is left of the castle built soon after the Battle of Hastings by William de Warenne, the Earl of Surrey. It is a well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle, and remains one of the most impressive Norman earthworks in the country.
By 1397 the fortifications were in ruins and, despite restoration work by Sir Edward Coke at the start of the 17th century, the decline continued until the 20th century. In 1971, Thomas Coke, the Earl of Leicester, placed the castle into the guardianship of the state. The site is maintained by English Heritage.
