Gardens

Out of the quadrangle and crossing the dry moat we made our way into the formal walled gardens.

In one side of the dry moat, archers were loosing their arrows at polystyrene boar and this side some players were preparing for a rendition of Chaucer.


The view back across the garden to the castle.

Just behind this spot was a huge (ultra modern) sundial. It didn't quite fit the mood (but remembering this is an extension of the Royal Observatory. it was hardly unexpected).


At the far end there was a small garden surrounded by tall hedges. Looking over the border it was possible to see the tops of the Beech and Chestnut woods.
