"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour."

Holiday - Peco Gardens, Beer - Thursday, 4th July



On Thursday 4th July we returned to Beer and visited the Peco Gardens. They were excellent value for money we thought as there was so much to do and see there and the gardens were beautiful and very well maintained.









I am not sure how well this photo works but the paving was designed to form a snake





Garden Cross Spider




The Moon Garden







An enchanting Grotto celebrating the mythological sea god Poseidon



There was also a beautiful Night Sky mosaic showing the constellations - seem to have missed uploading the photo (doh!!! - haven't a clue how to put a photo in the middle of a post once they've all be uploaded!)




Rainbow Garden




Sun Garden








The Secret Walled Garden





Beer Heights Light Railway

There is also a miniature 7 1/4" light gauge railway to take a ride on. It travels through the gardens and there are lovely views of Beer.







There is an excellent Model Railway Exhibition to visit - with an amazing array of different model railways all designed to fit in various parts of the home such as the Loft, Garage, Study, Garden, Alcove, Bedroom, Hallway. The attention to detail and the models were absolutely brilliant.










We had a game of crazy golf and there were several playgrounds for children depending on their age.

Didn't expect to see "him" here!


In addition, there is a Wildway Park with flower-filled banks (saw a few Small Tortoiseshell), woodland and a pond with ducks and the Fitness Trail!!






Brian and David went on a Ghost Walk in Lyme Regis in the evening - I stayed in and started the packing!!!
