The Walled Garden, Holkham, Norfork
In the summer of 2013 I discovered the Walled Garden at Holkham Hall, North Norfolk. I say discovered, in the sense that I hadn't visited before, but I suspect not many have. Dating back to the 1700s, the gardens are midway through a significant restoration project. Once complete the gardens will prove to be a spectacular attraction, but it was nice to see some of the older and neglected aspects of the garden before it gradually goes through its transformation.
I revisited in the summer of 2014, with some changes already evident including the planting of a vineyard, and some new signage, but it still retains its special character.
Here are some images from the past two summers:
Thanks for looking.
