Coughton Court looks very imposing.
In order to reach the back of the house you have to walk through this hedge
and here we are
and then you walk down one of the two tree lined avenues
to reach the river side walk
the river is very shallow
particularly now as we have had no proper rain for weeks
the scent of wild garlic is overpowering
and now we reach the lake
turn left and we enter the bog garden
blue iris
luscious grasses
another view
and on to the kitchen garden and its scarecrow
retracing our steps and walking round the lake
I sat on a bench and was visited by this mallard and her young - they are so tame
a young coot in the water
and finally the herb garden.
