Derek Carr's Visits to Homes and Gardens in England 2006

I've lumped these together, because they make an interesting collection. Especially since they represent four centuries of garden design. Hidcote was designed at the beginning of the 20th century. Upton House is a classic of the 19th century, and Hanbury Hall is a garden from the late 17th, early 18th century. I also went to Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens for an apple day celebration this year, and that's a 16th/ 17th century garden (see Apple day).

I had a problem with the slide view of this page, so I've included it on a separate page - see the link to the photos here.

Here are the thumbnails of the pictures. Click on the first picture: a new page will open and you'll see a larger version of the picture and my comments. Then click the right arrow at the top of the page to go through the pictures one at a time. Finally, click either up arrow, at the top or bottom of the page, to return here, or the right arrow at the bottom of the page to cycle through each of these pages .
