Back to Herefordshire: Part 2: Return to Burford House Gardens

 

On the Wednesday we decided to return to Burford House Gardens partly because our last visit was cut short by rain so we didn't see it all and partly because it is so lovely there.

I appreciate many of you will have already seen much of the garden but I have tried to include different photos where I can.  

St Mary's Burford

There were mallard ducklings on one of the pools - so cute. We later saw another party on the river with older ducklings and the numbers were lower so I suspect many are sadly lost to predators.

As mentioned in my last post on the gardens it used to house the National Clematis Collection and there are still many varieties to be seen so I have tried to include more photos of these this time.

Again, as mentioned last time, the point where the brook joins the River Teme is where the three counties of Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire meet.  I still couldn't see any remains of the old castle although I suspect they may be the other side of the brook which you can't seem to access at the moment.

B saw a kingfisher on the river - you guessed it I missed it taking photos!

Due to the rain we missed this lovely pool on the last visit.

I am sure this will be the second of many visits and I can't wait to take D and E.

I hope everyone is staying safe, well and cool!!

All photos taken by me with the Panasonic Lumix FZ330 bridge camera.  (I don't particularly rate most of my photos but should anyone ever want to use one I would be grateful for an email first. Thanks).
