Roads and Pathways

Joe and Harry running around the crop circle which is being built in Attington Park walled garden. They loved following the pathway to the centre and back again
Attington Park, this must have been the Stable Managers house because it is attached to the stable block. The flowers were beautiful there, a real cottage garden! The National Trust Volunteers were working really hard.
The Monkey Forest in Staffordshire. It was great seeing all of these monekys living wild in their own packs. This one was busy on our footpath foraging for something
Erddig Hall Gardens, coming through from the Rose Walled Garden into the main garden area.


Jason with Joe riding Cola across the footbridge by our livery yard in Rossett.


On our adventure to Chirk Castle, we followed a grass pathway which led to this little peaceful hide hole



The paths in Chirk Castle gardens led to alsorts of wonderful places with the most amazing plants.


This is the footway into Chirk Castle. The buildings you can see are add ons from when the Castle was built by Edward I in 13th Century.

  3. I agree with Ginger, English gardens always look so lush but with a lovely softness to them. My favourite is Erddig Hall, such wonderful structure! And I love the shot of the boys running along the paths. Reminds me of when I returned from a long holiday and found my lawn to be about nine inches high. I mowed it into a maze which the grandkids loved for the week it took me to find the energy to mow it properly.

  12. Chirk Castle and Erddig Hall are both in the country of Wales which is where I live and the Attington Park and monkey shots are in England.
