It's really beautifully laid out with big wooden doors in the walls and amazingly each strip of mortar has these metal rings to hook climbing plants onto-its quite remarkable.
One length of the wall is a huge greenhouse with fantastic vines growing inside.
The remaining walls have beautifully trained fruit trees creating elegant fan shapes: fig, apples, pear, apricot and cherries.
My favourite thing of all though has to be the asparagus beds-I want one!
As you can see from my pictures I have put none of the house on here-it was a very Gothic Victorian pile-great example of its type but not my scene.
By the way its owned by The National Trust and is in North Somerset.
