Visit to Wyndcliffe Court in St Arvans.

Nice gardens with great views and interesting display pieces. Enjoyed these pictures Medowland. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting blog Meadowland and I like the 'dancing' hare sculpture.

Love these Arts & Crafts places . . . we used to live very close to the Severn estuary, but I haven't heard of this one. You would love 'Blackwell' on the banks on Lake Coniston (or maybe you know it??). Ruskin lived nearby too!

What a lovely place,M.land..we love places like this too..great pieces of artwork too,and humorous :o)

Free entrance ML. wow that makes a change, it's a beautiful place, another one for the never ending list!!

A fascinating place and what a beautiful house and terrace. It reminds me of Blackwell, an arts and crafts house in the Lake District which I love.

Free entry and sculptures for sale - how to keep away? You could play "lets pretend" all the time!

What super photo's and a gorgeous place to visit. I had a look at their website which has loads more photo's and as they were taken before yours, different too.
They have views of the azaleas all in bloom which must have been a picture.
It's true what you say about not visiting local attractions, you wouldn't dream of missing some of them if you were on holiday, but because they are local - you just don't get round to it!
Shows how tastes play a huge part in what to put in the garden too - some I loved and some you just think "why?".

A very interesting place and in a lovely area too :o)

From your photograph the view looks spectacular ML, I particularly like the little girl and the hare - not so sure about the spare glasses pod! Perhaps this has been made up from visitors spec's that have been mislaid in the grounds! :D

Looks a wonderful place to visit.
Thanks for sharing the pics :o)

Lots of inspiration to be had when visiting gardens like these. Great photos J, really enjoyed them. Pleased to see you have found a friend with mutual interest in gardening to accompany you - just wish I lived nearer I would come with you. btw I quite liked the glasses thing, reminded me of a giant wasps nest! Did you see Beechgrove garden last week? They featured Lesley Watsons garden - she had lots of quirky arty farty things in her garden. I think it makes your garden much more interesting and adds a bit of fun. Its a good excuse to go trawling around interesting places too!

Aww thanks Julia, (blush) Do you think they would miss that statue of the girl with her knees clutched up to her chest, its just what I'd like for the edge of my pond. Hate to say it but Ive gone off Monty a bit. He keeps making controversial comments about other peoples taste in gardens. Quite upset one of the young designers exhibiting at Hampton Court. Getting himself into all sorts of trouble. He then went on to wax lyrical about the guy sitting with a gas mask on in front of a wall of graffiti! (don't quite understand) I'm a bit more on the live and let live side, or in other words each to their own - though the guy in the gas mask certainly doesn't get my vote. Quite cross really - we paid to see that!!!
